I have a very basic custom UIViewController with its own associated nib file.
This view controller is the "root view controller" of a Navigation Controller
which is itself embedded within a Split View Controller which is defined in
another nib - say the main.nib.
Within IB this root view controller has its "Nib Name" property specified,
which means that this view controller is defined in an extern nib file.
This scenario is the standard way for defining nibs and view controllers when
using a Navigation Controller.
To illustrate an example for the main.nib:
File's Owner
First Responder
Window
App Delegate
Split View Controller
Navigation Controller
Navigation Bar
Root View Controller -> Nib Name = "MyRootViewController.nib"
Detail View Controller
My root view controller also defines some properly specified outlets - for
instance a view which is embedded within the same nib file and referenced via
an outlet from the class.
During -awakeFromNib for the root view controller, none of these kind of
outlets are connected. This is quite confusing, since the documentation
explicitly says otherwise.
On the other hand, another outlet which references another object (in this case
Detail View Controller) which is embedded within the main.nib has been properly
connected - which seems to match the documentation.
So, it appears, -awakeFromNib is sent to the files owner (the root view
controller) although the nib isn't really loaded and also isn't really properly
instantiated from the nib.
It has to be mentioned, at the time when -viewDidLoad is sent to the file's
owner the connections have been connected by IB properly.
Reading the documentation carefully, I don't expect awakeFromNib to be sent to
a file's owner when not all of its outlets have been properly connected.
