Recently I opened a fairly old xCode project in xCode 4.0 and received the following error

error: Illegal Configuration: Pattern colors on iOS versions prior to 3.0

The error is due to incompatibilities with older nib/xib files prior to version 3.0

To fix the error or make the warning go away change the Deployment type in theInterface Builder Document settings below:

Interface Builder Document i os 2.2

Setting this to 3.0 or above will fix the error, the why’s and where for’s are beyond me and to be honest I don’t care as long as the little red triangles go xCode is happy and so I am happy.
