How to make seperate xib for iphone from already existing one for ipad

Question

I am having iPad specific application. I want to play same on iPhone also. My app having xib which used size class "wRegular hRegular" with many auto layout constraints. I want to covert this to wAny hAny size class. I know there are two way to achieve this either using auto layout or creating another xib file for iPhone only. I want to go with separate xib files But how to make this files in XCode 7? And how this will work?

Just create new XIB file with name whatever you want to give and load the UIViewController using following code

ViewControllerName *vc = [[ViewControllerName alloc] initWithNibName:@"" bundle:nil];

In ViewController override - (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil method in which check for device is iPhone or iPad using following code

- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil
{
     NSString * nibNameOrNil;
     if ( UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad ){
        // iPad
        nibNameOrNil = @“iPad_XIB_NAME”
     } else {
        // iPhone
     }
     self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil];
     if (self)
     {
        // Custom initialization
     }
     return self;
}

this will call your XIB according to your device type.
