  • Thanks Dave, I will try that. I don't know why Xcode 5 offers to revert to the old xib interface, if it does not support building the app with that old interface. Does it mean that the project needs to be build and deployed separately for iOS6 (with older interface) and iOS7 (with newer interface)? Commented Sep 26, 2013 at 22:37
  • @kzia that's so you can share xib files between developers who have different versions of Xcode (for example, one using Xcode 5 and one using Xcode 4). Commented Sep 26, 2013 at 22:37

    @kzia no, you should be building it all in Xcode 5. When you run an app built against iOS 7 on an iOS 6 device, it will obviously look like iOS 6. Commented Sep 26, 2013 at 23:02
  • @DaveDeLong however, under iOS 7 if you want your app to look the same in Xcode 5 as it did in Xcode 4, you do have to keep separate projects, unless there is a way to tell Xcode 5 to build the app the same way Xcode 4 did. This should be a build setting somewhere, but I can't seem to find it. Commented Nov 5, 2013 at 15:51
