Product:iPhone SDK Product Version:7.0
Classification:Serious Bug Reproducible:Always
 
Summary:
In UIStoryboard's documentation, it clearly states that creating a UIStoryboard with a storyboard name that doesn't exist, will fail gracefully and return nil.

    storyboardWithName:bundle:
    …
    Return Value
    A storyboard object for the specified file or nil if no such object exists.

Steps to Reproduce:
[UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"NoName" bundle:nil];

Expected Results:
The method should return nil and not throw an exception.

Actual Results:
An exception is thrown and the app crashes.

Notes:
I have tested this on iOS 6.1 and iOS 7 beta. Exact same result.
