Loaded nib but the 'view' outlet was not set

I added a new nib file to my project, and tried to load it.

However, when I click on the toolbar icon that is supposed to take me to the view that I created, I get an NSInternalInconsistencyException with the message:

Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: '-[UIViewController _loadViewFromNibNamed:bundle:] loaded the "..." nib but the view outlet was not set.'

So I opened up my nib file, and I see for the view that there are no referencing outlets set. However, I try to click and drag the circle for "new referencing outlet" to File's Owner, but it won't let me...what do I need to do to get my view to display?

Just spent more than hour trying to find out why my view property is not set in my view controller upon initiating it from nib. Remember to call "[super initWithNibName...]" inside your view controller's initWithNibName.

I had the same problem, but a slightly different solution was called for. The problem in this case was the class of the File Owner, rather than the class of the View. To set this, I had to click the "backwards play" icon in the lower left corner of the Interface Builder window, and options then appeared that isolated the characteristics of the File Owner, the First Responder, and the View. Clicking on the first one (a large transparent box), enabled me to then set its custom class as suggested above.

In my case, the view was not viewed in xib. in xib the View was size = none (4th tab right hand). I set size to Freeform and reload xCode. view was appealed and I set the proper link to View.
