How do you get a custom object to show up in the Interface Builder object palette?

Question

I have been trying to create a custom object and have it appear in the object palette so I can drag and drop it into the .xib file when I am building an iOS app. I cannot find any tutorials or instructions online on how to do this; did Apple remove this functionality? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can't add custom plugins when using the iOS platform. This is possible for normal MacOS development but sadly not for iOS. If however you have a UIView descendent for example, drag a normal UIView onto the screen and change the class to your custom class to use it HOWEVER you will get no design-time view of the custom control.... :(
