macOS interface nib crashes on simulation

I have an application that builds and executes successfully on OS 10.5 and xcode 3.1. However, it crashes on OS 10.6 and xcode 3.2.5 when trying to simulate the interface nib file in interface builder, see crash message below.

Does anyone know how I update an interface builder file to run on the latest OS?

Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: 'Unlocking Focus on wrong view (<NSMatrix: 0x100549460>), expected <NSView: 0x100530970>'

I doubt that is the problem. Without seeing the code around where it is crashing, it's hard to diagnose, but you are probably calling something directly that you shouldn't.
 
When trying to open the nib file by double clicking on it in xcode I get the following crash and error message.

Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)

Is this one of the older-style package nibs? If you are talking about a file-type nib compiled from a xib, Interface Builder will not open those.
 
How do I find out if it is an older style nib file and if it is can I convert it to a newer type nib file?
 
I ran the upgrade command in the terminal, but still get the same crash when trying to open the file.

I'm sure this doesn't actually upgrade the nib. It probably makes a copy of it as a XIB, which you would then have to move into your project and replace the old one.
 
Interface Builder works with 2 kinds of files (IME): xib files, which are precursors to nib files, and nib packages. A nib package is actually a directory with several (usually 3) xml or plist sources in it. This type of package usually has an icon that looks like a square-ish gold plate with screw heads in the corners and will have an "Open Package" line in the CM when you right-click on it. If you have a nib that is a file rather than a package directory, you cannot open it with IB, you can only sort of view its keyed archive contents with PListEditor or the like.
 
interface builder crash when opening file

I get the following error and crash after opening an existing interface builder project (version 3.2.5 on OS X 10.6.5). The project works on an earlier OS (OS X 10.5). Is there a way of fixing the project or do I have to create a new GUI of OS X 10.6.5?

Sounds like there's something corrupted with the nib. Either try to install an older version of Xcode that originally created the file and open it there and re-save, or just recreate it from scratch -> probably best if it's not too complicated of a nib.

What happens when you compile the project and run, loading the nib? Does it work or no?
