Problem:
When I hit "Commit..." under the Source Control menu in Xcode, the window comes up blank and I get a colorful pinwheel that doesn't stop spinning, so I have to force quit Xcode.
Details:
It's not a problem with Xcode in general because I can still commit other projects.
The version editor still works (I can still see previous commits I've made).
I've let the pinwheel run for over an hour, and still nothing happens.
I was able to commit this project up until a couple months ago. Since then, I added a few files to it, edited it a bit, updated Xcode if I remember right, and updated macOS.
Some of the files I added came from other projects.
I've tried removing some of the files I added and then committing, but that didn't work so I added them back.
I've tried cleaning the project, restarting Xcode, and restarting my mac.
I don't know much about source control, but I don't have anything fancy set up with a team or anything, it's just a local repository.
I've tried suggestions to delete various things inside the .xcodeproj file, to no avail.
I have Xcode 9.4.1
Any ideas?
If you have added big files (larger than 100mb) then sometimes Xcode has trouble with them. Try unstaging your commits and then committing them again. Finally try reverting back to the most recent version of your project and working from there.
I had the same problem. Sometimes selecting "Fetch and refresh status" works. The next time you go to commit the files will show up.
I found that rebooting my computer fixed the problem.

Choosing "Discard all changes..." from the Source Control menu has no effect, although I am still able to open Commit dialog, then discard changes individually. Anyone know if this is a bug or if I should be doing something different?
EDIT: I have noticed this happens to me when opening an .xcodeproj, but not when I open an .xcworkspace
I resolved this problem by uninstalling and reinstalling Xcode. It doesn't seem to fix the issue on files created before the reinstall but all new projects now seem to behave properly.
This also resolved another issue where pushing to GitHub wouldn't work after the initial link and remotes would always show as "loading..."
I've been working on a project the last few weeks in Xcode and everything's been great. Main.Storyboard all of a sudden, will not load or open. Other projects open fine. There hasn't been any significant changes in this project. The last thing I tried doing was adding a navigation bar to one of my view controllers, to add buttons or items. I also tried adding a navigation item. Things started to complicate after trying to do these things. I have the latest version of Xcode, my project settings are linked correctly and tried rebooting my Mac but it doesn't solve anything. Does anybody know what may have caused this error and how to resolve?
The easy way:
Check out the latest working version of the storyboard file and try the changes again. Likely something odd and transient happened that corrupted the existing storyboard file (I've seen it happen with managed object model files before which are also XML underneath).
If there are too many changes to redo them:
Make a copy of the current storyboard file outside the repo and then checkout the latest working version of the file from the repo.
Diff the two files moving over changes that make sense from the troublesome file keeping an eye out for balanced tags (i.e. if a view has an opening tag but no closing tag Xcode will get confused).
Try opening the modified storyboard in Xcode. With luck it will open and be fine. Otherwise you will need to do a bit more digging or go back to option one and redo the changes.
I downloaded your repo and I can open Main.storyboard just fine:
First, there's one old question with the same issue, but since the answers don't work for me, i'm posting this one:
I had problems to open an old project at all. So i deleted xcuserdata and the derived data, from the options tab, too. This one worked fine and i was able to open the project, but now when i click on the storyboard Xcode "hangs" and i have to force it to quit.
This happens only if i click on main.Storyboard, every other file in the project works fine when i click on it.
The last thing i tried was to run the project and in the last 5 minutes, it says Compiling 2 of 2 Storyboard files and that's all; no other result at the moment.
edit: cleaning the project doesn't work too.
edit2: It seems the problem is with my Xcode, not the project. I created a new project and Xcode freeze when i try to open the storyboard. Same with some other old projects.
Next step: reinstalling the Xcode.
Ok, like i comment previously, i tried a lot of things before consider to reinstall Xcode, but the most important were to run the project in other Mac and when i saw that there was no problem to show the storyboard i concluded that the issue were in Xcode.
I reinstalled it and it works fine.
Before everyone does that it's probably a good idea to see if your project run on other mac.
You can also delete xcuserdata, the derived data and the Xcode saved state.
Among the other things i tried:
I restored the version of main.storyboard i have on time machine, just before the crash. Didn't worked, but worth to try.
I also considered to replace the file with the same but from some old version. But the problem was, that i've made too many changes on the actual storyboard, so i needed to find a way to restore it.
I've been having this problem for a couple weeks now. All of a sudden this happened to my project and I havent been able to fix it. Its a basic tab-bar app and i've barely even started heavy coding on it. Running xcode 4.6.2 (tried on 4.6 and 4.6.1 also).
The actual error says:
"Cannot run on the selected destination
The selected destination does not support the architecture for which the selected software is built. Switch to a destination that supports that architecture in order to run the selected software."
Thanks in advance.
Well here's my new fix: I had (for some reason) changed the highlighted line below:
I had changed the ${EXECUTABLE_NAME} to something else. Changing it back did not fix the issue immediately: I had to first click the + to add a new row then delete the new row.
My app runs fine now
OLD FIX:
OK, so yes, it's true, there are other questions like this one. They helped me figure out a different (and stranger) solution.
I right-clicked on my .xcodeproj file and chose "Show Package Contents"
I then opened "project.pbxproj"
I copied all the text from it to another file, deleted all the text from it and saved
This "crashed" my XCode Project that I had accidentally left open in XCode.
I closed my project, then pasted the original contents of "project.pbxproj" back into "project.pbxproj"
I saved "project.pbxproj" and closed it
After opening my XCode Project again, I was able to run it on my device!
To me, it doesn't make sense why this worked because I didn't modify an files... But it did, so hurrah!
PS
Back up your project beforehand, just in case.
EDIT: Well mine has stopped working again and I can't use the above method to fix it...
Cannot run on the selected destination
The selected destination does not support the architecture for which the selected software is built. Switch to a destination that supports that architecture in order to run the selected software.
I am using the Facebook-iOS-SDK from GitHub: https://github.com/facebook/facebook-ios-sdk
tested latest commit (2a030e795aed343e7614e149a5ebdfa78b223a72) and sdk-version-3.0.8 tag, both having the same problem. Tested the Hackbook, Scrumptious, FriendPickerSample on both iDevices and iSimulator.
It was working before (on older version of XCode), so it could be the xcode upgrade, but my other projects work fine. I've tried multiple solutions on this site which works for others but not on mine, does anyone encounter this before with Facebook-SDK specifically? Thanks in advance!
EDIT: I have found the issue, if you install the FacebookSDK and you add the resources folder to get the facebook image buttons there is a Info.plist file. XCodes goes weird with this info.plist file. I have deleted it, made a clean and now it works perfect :)
OLD:
The same behavior here. On another projects it runs perfectly but in this one I have always the same problem. After some XCode restarts sometimes it runs ok, sometimes I "click" on run and then nothings happens, sometimes it runs...
The best option is to move the project to other path. Adding and removing the libsql3.0 from lib dependencies sometimes works too.
Sadly, it seems like this is a bug on XCode, it will build and run fine for once every couple of restarts and with the entire project directory moved to other path. This is very sad because apple always make good products for consumer but all their developer software are crappy compared to big M's
I ran into this problem. It seemed to start right after XCode hung and I had to force quit. This was a day before the 4.6 update. I hoped that that update might fix the problem. And I did get one successful build before I started getting that message (actually in 4.6 there are two different but similar messages that seem to alternate.
I solve the problem by letting XCode update the project settings. I first noticed this possibility when I made a duplicate copy of my project and open that, but it is clear that this option is also available in the original. Here is what I did
In the Issues Navigator just under my project "MyProject project" I had a message MyProject.xcode
Validate Project Settings
Update to recommended settings.
I click on that and I was presented with a dialog box with 4 checkboxes some explanatory text and the option to perform changes. I just let Xcode make those changes and everything has been fine since.
Remove info.plist from Facebook Resources folder. Changed the location of XCode project and Reset the iPhone simulator...now it is working :) Buggy XCode !!
