Believe me, you have no idea how badly I would love to use interface builder. The problem is that the method for using interface builder as described here and in other places, that of routing the mouse and then dragging, has never once worked for me. If there's another way, or if Xcode5 fixed these particular accessibility problems, please let me know. I realize that interface builder is the usual way of doing things, and I do know that it would be much easier if I were able to use it. The problem is that I simply cannot, at least as things stand right now. Again, if something has been updated and now works better, please let me know.
