My login view has a subview which has a UIActivityView and a UILabel saying "Signing In…". This subview has corners which aren't rounded. How can I make them round?

Is there any way to do it inside my xib?

Try this

#import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h> // not necessary for 10 years now  :)

...

view.layer.cornerRadius = 5;
view.layer.masksToBounds = true;

Note: If you are trying to apply rounded corners to a UIViewController's view, it should not be applied in the view controller's constructor, but rather in -viewDidLoad, after view is actually instantiated.
