The checkbox to create a .xib file in Xcode 6 seems to be disabled. I can not find any way to enable it again. Does anybody know if this is possible?

Make sure you didn't accidentally select the OS X Cocoa Class file type instead of iOS Cocoa Touch Class.

Creating xib files in xcode 6 is,

First of all create empty project as, Go to-> File > New >Project, Then select IOS >Other > Empty then Next After that creating a xib file as, Go to->File >New> File then IOS > Cocoa Touch Class and then NEXT Then select Viewcontroller and check for the "Also create XIB file" Then Next

This will create a empty project as well as xib file.

I think, you didn't select the subclass as UIViewController on that page. Try this one and then check for the XIB file. Thank you!

I had encountered this problem. Below is fix for this :

  1. Right click on files present in Project Navigator section.

  2. Select New File.

    OR

    Select File from list of tab present in Xcode

    Select New -> File

    OR

    Simply press cmd+N

  3. Choose template for your new file as iOS not OS X, tvOS or watchOS.

  4. Select device type and Language and then click Next

  5. Click on Create and make sure that Targets is selected.
