Could not load NIB in bundle - swift 3 (only physical device)

Question

My app works perfectly on the simulator, but as soon as I launch it on my physical device, I get this exception:

Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'Could not load NIB in bundle: 'NSBundle </var/containers/Bundle/Application/E1868188-8412-40F9-AD77-B4CA9DA47415/Aremiti.app> (loaded)' with name '0mX-RV-bpN-view-yyb-5A-n89''

libc++abi.dylib: terminating with uncaught exception of type NSException

I am aware that this may be thrown when a file's name is changed outside of xcode. However, I haven't touched any of the file names.

If you archive the project and export an ipa does the exported bundle have it? Also, did you try build clean? What about renaming your xib? — Allison, Jun 26 '17 at 23:22

let customView = Bundle.main.loadNibNamed("SomeNib", owner: self, options: nil)?[0] as! myClass

probability you NIB name is wrong you...please check your nib name which you made ..you should include SomeNib.xib in loadNibNamed

you should also have to check whether your SomeNib.xib copy into Copy Bundle Resources in Build Phases section of project target ?

Checking Copy Bundle Resources, I found the xib was missing. Adding it fixed this problem. – Stonetip Sep 16 '20 at 22:25

I encountered similar error and the reason was that a subView to the current view (self.view.addSubView) was being added in the class's initializer method (when using a storyboard). Moving the code to viewDidLoad fixed it.
