Create a XIB file

Xcode Menu Bar > File > New > File.

Select iOS, User Interface and then “View”:

Give your XIB a name (yes, we are doing a Pokemon example 👾).

Remember to check your target and hit “Create”.

Design your view

To make things easier, set:

• Size: Freeform
• Status Bar: None
• Top Bar: None
• Bottom Bar: None

Click on the Size Inspector and resize the view.

For this example we’ll be using width 321 and height 256.

Drop some elements into your XIB file like shown below.

Here we’ll be adding an Image View (256x256) and a Switch.
