My problem is that I was looking for way to use both storyboard and xib. But I can't find proper way to load and show storyboard programmatically. Project was started developing with xib, and now it's very hard to nest all xib files in storyboard. So I was looking a way to do it in code, like with alloc, init, push for viewControllers. In my case I have only one controller in storyboard: UITableViewController, which has static cells with some content I want to show. If anyone knows proper way to work both with xib and storyboard without huge refactoring, I will appreciate for any help.

In your storyboard go to the Attributes inspector and set the view controller's Identifier. You can then present that view controller using the following code.

UIStoryboard *sb = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"MainStoryboard" bundle:nil];
UIViewController *vc = [sb instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"myViewController"];
vc.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleFlipHorizontal;
[self presentViewController:vc animated:YES completion:NULL];
