Please: the only thing you need to do to make it work now, that is: today, is flip the switch on compilation and we are all happy campers. We have no use for "the road Apple may take in a year or so". A solution exists today, why not use it? You are making it much harder on your selves than necessary.
Xibs are fine and iLocalize supports them just fine, but you currently, to my best of knowledge, cannot use them runtime. This means going down the xib road is going down the "cannot test my localization anymore" road. What is your truly compelling reason not to flip the switch? A few kilobytes? Please tell me there are better reasons. Regards Alexander Op 22 sep 2009, om 17:14 heeft Christopher Forsythe het volgende geschreven: > We are going xibs.
