Get main storyboard in universal app
ios, ios-universal-app, ipad, iphone, storyboard
Solution
Assuming that you're executing the posted code from inside another view controller, you can always get the current storyboard via `[self storyboard]`, where self is any instance of a UIViewController.
Problem
Trying my hand at a universal project, I'd like to load a vc by identifier from storyboard. Is there a way to avoid an explicit check of the idiom when accessing the storyboard. This ugly code works.... ``` UIStoryboard *storyboard; if (UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad) { storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"MainStoryboard_iPad" bundle:nil]; } else { storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"MainStoryboard_iPhone" bundle:nil]; } UIViewController *vc = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"MyViewController"]; ``` But yuck. The string literal main storyboard is hard enough to look at (not sure why the project cannot save a main storyboard setting so that apps can say [UIStoryboard mainStoryboard];) but the explicit idiom check is a bridge too far. Is there any hidden intelligence (comparable to "@2x" image suffixes supporting retina displays) that could clean this code?
