What did Pasan mean when he said that he didn't build apps using storyboards? Is it not an ideal way of building apps?

I've been looking at different iOS open sourced apps on Github and I haven't found many .storyboard files in the source files. Is there a better way to build application that have different views?

Hi Abdulla,

I don't know for sure, but I assume building an iOS app without Interface Builder is ideal; gives you more control. I have spoken to a few iOS developers and they all say they build apps without Interface Builder. When iOS was first released, Storyboards did not exist.

I found a short but sweet article that walks you through setting up a background color without Interface Builder.

Hope that helps, Dave
