Tired of autolayout and those damn constraints which lack simplicity and flexibility ? Well then this library is made for you. I believe having separate Nib files for 3.5 and 4 inches screens are the way to go if you want to ease up the layout management process and improve your app maintanability.

How to install

Simply copy :

• KAViewController.h
• KAViewController.m

into your project folder and import KAViewController.h

or use cocoapod with this line : pod 'KANibHelper', :git => 'https://github.com/kirualex/KANibHelper.git'

How to use

Just subclass KAViewController instead of the usual UIViewController in your header file, and you are ready to go !

You can then create a separate Nib file targeting 4 inches screen just by adding the suffix '~iphone4' to your original Nib file (don't forget to specify the class of the file owner and to link the views outlets). Don't worry if you don't have a specific '~iphone4' Nib for every screens of your app, KAViewController will just fallback on the default Nib for your controller. You can also add the suffix '~iphone3_5' to your original nib for consistenc, it will work.
