Summary:
I'm trying to migrate an old XIB-based ("MainMenu.xib") application to fully utilize Storyboards. Unfortunately, there is no way to add an "Application" object (the one that contains the menu, etc.) to a newly created Storyboard. It appears that one is created upon creation of a Storyboard-based application, and that's it. It makes it extremely difficult to add a menu to a new Storyboard.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new macOS project with a XIB based layout
2. Try to migrate to Storyboards
Expected Results:
Some way to add an "Application" object to the storyboard with the application's menus
Actual Results:
No object is available in Interface Builder
Version:
Version 8.2.1 (8C1002)
Notes:
Workaround:
Create a new storyboard based project with the exact same name, open both .storyboard files in a text editor, copy the "Application" scene XML node, and paste in the original project's storyboard.
Configuration:
Early 2015 MacBook Pro with Retina Display running macOS Sierra 10.12.3 Beta (16D17a)
