Hello,
I have an application in which I want to use a separate storyboards for iPhone and iPad. I have this specified in Info.plist. I also now want to support iOS/iPadOS 13's multiple window feature.
In order to setup multiple windows in Info.plist I have to specify a storyboard within "Application Scene Manifest". As you might expect, this now overrides my previously specified iPhone/iPad storyboard setting.
Is it possible to continue using separate iPhone and iPad storyboards while still supporting multiple windows on the iPad/Mac (Catalyst) version?
One way I could see overcoming this would be to create a separate target for iPhone and migrate all iPhone related data to that target however that would be quite an involved process that I would like to avoid if possible.
Thanks
Here is my Info.plist for reference:

</plist>hi zmclearan,
I was searching and found your post. I have the same problem with you but i think i've solved this.
You don't need to specify the Storyboard name in your UIApplicationSceneManifest section in the info.plist file. You can leave the UISceneConfigurations in UIApplicationSceneManifest section empty and specify a storyboard at runtime in the UIApplicationDelegate method. Just like this:
UIApplicationSceneManifest
UIApplicationSupportsMultipleScenes
UISceneConfigurations
And in your UIApplicationDelegate:
@available(iOS 13.0, *)
func application(_ application: UIApplication, configurationForConnecting connectingSceneSession: UISceneSession, options: UIScene.ConnectionOptions) -> UISceneConfiguration {
let config = UISceneConfiguration(name: "Default Configuration", sessionRole: .windowApplication)
config.sceneClass = UIWindowScene.self
config.delegateClass = SceneDelegate.self
if UIDevice.current.userInterfaceIdiom == .phone {
config.storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
} else {
config.storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main_ipad", bundle: nil)
}
return config
}
