How can I convert an XIB file to an object-C source code?
You can use nib2objc to download the source code of this tool from https://github.com/akosma/nib2objc.
The downloaded project code is compiled with xcode to generate a command line program file.Nib2objc. Run the following command to start the conversion.
Nib2objc 1.xib> 1.m
If the content of 1.xib is as follows:

View6.tag = 0;
View6.userinteractionenabled = yes; according to the test results, only view (including the subclass of uiview) related items can be converted, and the contact between the control and its corresponding event is lost. The converted attributes will generate the corresponding objective-C code, whether or not the attribute value is the default.
