title: Remove storyboard and start app with a .xib
body: <p>I've tried to follow the instructions on this <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17234172/xcode-5-without-storyboard-and-arc">Question</a>.  But I must not be doing something correctly because I am still getting a SIGABRT before I even get into the ViewController methods.</p>
  
  <p>Here are the steps:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Copied all items on the view in the story board and pasted into the new xib view.</li>
  <li>Copied all contents of .h and .m view controller files into the new ones for the xib.</li>
  <li>Changed the Main nib file base name to the new xib name in the info.plist file.</li>
  <li>Tried to change the owner but I don't know if I'm doing that correctly.</li>
  <li><p>Edited the appdelegate didFinishLaunchingWithOptions file as follows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
  
   {
      self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]] ;
  
       // Override point for customization after application launch.
  
       TestViewController *test = [[TestViewController alloc]         initWithNibName:@"TestViewController" bundle:nil];
       UINavigationController *nav = [[UINavigationController alloc]  initWithRootViewController:test];
       self.window.rootViewController = nav;
  
       [self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
  
       return YES;
  }
  </code></pre></li>
  <li><p>I even tried to start with an empty project like one of the last posts suggested and still get a SIGABRT when I try to run.</p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Has Apple made it impossible to remove the storyboard?  I'm creating an SDK.  I don't want a storyboard.  But I do need one xib that is rotatable.</p>
  
  <p>Help?</p>
