NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'Could not load NIB in bundle: 'NSBundle

Question

In my AppDelegate there is a problem I do not understand. RootViewController initially called ViewController and I changed it name. The application is formed by many ViewController then I have introduced a UINavigationController. Why this error comes?

  NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'Could not load NIB in bundle: 'NSBundle

This is the code in AppDelegate.h

  #import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

  @class RootViewController;

  @interface AppDelegate : UIResponder <UIApplicationDelegate>{

       UINavigationController *navigationController;
   }

  @property (strong, nonatomic) UIWindow *window;

  @property (strong, nonatomic) RootViewController *viewController;
  @property (strong, nonatomic) UINavigationController * navigationController;



  @end

This is the code of AppDelegate.m

  #import "AppDelegate.h"

  #import "RootViewController.h"



  @implementation AppDelegate

  @synthesize navigationController;
  @synthesize viewController;
  @synthesize window;



  - (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:    (NSDictionary *)launchOptions
 {
         self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
        // Override point for customization after application launch.

         if ([[UIDevice currentDevice] userInterfaceIdiom] == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPhone) {
               self.viewController = [[RootViewController alloc]      initWithNibName:@"RootViewController_iPhone.xib" bundle:nil];
   } else {
    self.viewController = [[RootViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"RootViewController_iPad.xib" bundle:nil];
   }

    RootViewController *rootMenu=[[RootViewController alloc]initWithNibName:@"RootViewController" bundle:nil];

    self.navigationController =[[UINavigationController alloc]initWithRootViewController:rootMenu];

    self.window.rootViewController = self.navigationController;
    [self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
    return YES;
}

Thanks in advance

This error can occur when you rename files outside of XCode. To solve it you can just remove the files from your project (Right Click - Delete and "Remove Reference").

Then after you can re-import the files in your project and everything will be OK.
