There is a solution which is much more cleaner than the solutions above: [this video] No Runtime properties, no recursive call problem at all. I tried it and it worked like a charm using from storyboard and from XIB with IBOutlet properties (iOS8.1, XCode6). Good luck for coding!

Hello StackOverflow. I am trying to setup a UIView such that it loads itself from XIB file in Xcode. To do this, I went through the following initial steps: Created empty UIView subclass. Added a blank XIB file. Then, I added all the subviews I wanted into the XIB file, and made corresponding IBOutlet Properties inside the UIView Subclass. I watched this video [this video] to show me how to properly connect the outlets and set the files owner.

I'm following this video [this video] (except im linking the custom view in code not in IB), but I'll explain what's happening. I have created a custom view that extends off UiView. It is created from an xib file. Here is a photo of the xib file in interfacebuilder: Notice that the file owner is already linked to my custom class. Now I'll show you my custom class: #import "CostcoLoginView.h" @implementation CostcoLoginView -(id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame{ self = [super initWithFrame:frame]; if(self){ } return self; } -(id)initWithCoder:(NSCoder *)aDecoder{ self=[super initWithCoder:aDecoder]; if(self){ [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"CostcoLoginView" owner:self options:nil]; [self addSubvi
