I can understand that. But if we are to create something like this 
thread suggest I would say that it's almost irresponsible to not try all 
the alternatives. Ok, it might not be that easy to try the Apple stuff, 
need the correct hardware and so on. Yes, there are workarounds as well.

You will need do the same thing in Xcode as well. What I described here 
was how to add a custom view, that you already have created using 
inheritance, using the GUI builder to a window. I can add as well that 
you're not forced to use the GUI builder, but it's generally easier.
