I notice that this method is provided in UIViewController .m files, but is commented out:
- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil
I had been leaving that method commented out, or even deleting it. But then I looked at this line inside the method:
if (self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil])
I assume that if it were truly important for self to be set equal to super, then Apple would not have the method be commented out by default. On the other hand, if I do need to do some customization in that method, why do I need to set self = super? What's the best practice, and why?
