Detailed Description
The ib module contains properties and rules for building Interface Builder documents, storyboards, asset catalogs, and icon sets.
This module is only available on Apple platforms.
Relevant File Tags
The file tags determine how the tagged directories and files are handled.
| Tag | Auto-tagged File Names | Since | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
"assetcatalog" | *.xcassets | 1.3 | Tagged directories are compiled into compiled asset catalog archives (.car files) on supported platforms, or a collection of loose resource files. The resulting files will be automatically tagged bundle.input. If the current product is a bundle, the files will be included in the bundle's resources directory. |
"iconset" | *.iconset | 1.3 | Tagged directories are compiled into Apple ICNS files. The resulting files will be automatically tagged bundle.input. If the current product is a bundle, the files will be included in the bundle's resources directory. |
"nib" | *.nib, *.xib | 1.1 | Tagged "NIB" and "XIB" files will be compiled. The output may be a flat file or a bundle (directory structure). The resulting files will be automatically tagged bundle.input. If the current product is a bundle, the files will be included in the bundle's resources directory. |
"png" | *.png | 1.9 | Tagged PNG files may be converted into multi-resolution TIFFs. Source files should adopt the @2x naming convention in order to be properly grouped. The resulting files will be given the tiff file tag. |
"storyboard" | *.storyboard | 1.3 | Tagged storyboard files will be compiled. The output may be a flat file or a bundle (directory structure). The resulting files will be automatically tagged bundle.input. If the current product is a bundle, the files will be included in the bundle's resources directory. |
Property Documentation
actoolName : string |
The name of the actool binary used to compile asset catalogs.
This property should not normally need to be changed.
Default: "actool"
This property was introduced in Qbs 1.3.
actoolPath : string |
The directory where the actool binary is located.
This property should not normally need to be changed.
Default: actoolName
This property was introduced in Qbs 1.3.
appIconName : string |
The name of the resource in the asset catalog that will be used as the application's icon.

flags : stringList |
Additional flags to pass to the underlying tool (ibtool, actool, iconutil).
Default: Undefined
Default: true

Compiles XIBs and storyboards into flattened (non-wrapper) files.
Set to false to preserve editability of the resulting NIB and storyboard bundles in Interface Builder.
