Dragan, if you are able to make a build where the .nib is not compressed, you could diff them or simply open them in an editor and see the difference between both?
Back when I worked at Macromedia on this prehistoric product known as Director and this other thing known as Shockwave, whenever we ran into a problem like this, to get to the root of it we’d first try to replicate the problem in the simplest manner possible. Like simplifying an equation by removing unnecessary variables or unneeded complexity. But you clearly also have cases that do exhibit the problem. It’s a waste to only test the simple case if you can also test the more complex one at the same time and also include another set of simple cases that might spell out the nature of what is happening. Running with those concepts, - put one of your nibs in a new project - add a new nib and add one field to it - create another nib and add one image to it. - add a high resolution image to an asset and assign it to that image. - add an icon to your app icon in the assets.xcassets file. Make sure either your settings are set to not compress the nibs or build a debug build, whichever doesn’t compile the nibs down. Build in Xcode 8 targeting 10.12 and build in Xcode 9 targeting 10.13. Open up each of the nibs in an XML editor and compare the differences, or simply compare file sizes before opening. I’d actually think it would be more helpful to see the XML inside the nibs, but that’s just me . My suspicion is that you will see no significant changes in the nib that has just the field in it. We expect that there will be differences in the nib that you included from your app. The other files will be interesting andI suspect should illustrate the issue clearly. Hope this helps.
