ANE: How to load XIB file?

Hi, guys!

Our ANE is trying to load a portion of user interface from .xib file.

Unfortunately it fails with a crash.

Is it even possible in AIR?

We put the XIB file "CustomViewController.xib" in the root of .ipa package.

And here's the native code that loads the XIB.

UINib *uiNib = [UINib nibWithNibName:@“CustomViewController” bundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]];

//uiNib is NOT nil at this point. So it was found and loaded.

//But the following line crashes.

UIView *view = [uiNib instantiateWithOwner:self options:nil].firstObject;

This message is printed to the console.

*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException',

reason: 'Could not load NIB in bundle: 'NSBundle </var/containers/Bundle/Application/295E25B2-DF66-426D-8DD0-FDF5C816943D/YoWindow Weather.app> (loaded)' with name 'CustomViewController''

This is except from the crash.

The code works just fine in a standalone application but fails when run inside AIR.

Has anyone managed to successfully load a XIB in ANE?
