This might be hard to diagnose without seeing the project, but Xcode keeps adding tons of warnings to my storyboard. It is a source controlled project, and if a team member cleans up all the warnings, pushes, and I pull, the warnings go away but as soon as I open storyboard, they reappear and they do not go away when I do the standard Update Frames option.
A lot of them seem to have to do with Stackviews, but I'm just confused why my coworkers can get the warnings to disappear and I cannot.
Has anyone experienced anything like this, or have any tips on how to approach solving this?
I was using Xcode 7.3 but after updating to 7.3.1 the problem still persists. Running OS X 10.11.6
Edit: Just to add some specifics, when I look at the source code versus my local code, it basically adds a ton of "Misplaced" tags, and a lot of values are changed by 0.5 or 1 pixel.
I do have the exact same issue when working with others on the same storyboard. It will happen every time you open (or another colleague) the storyboard. Here are some advises to avoid this :
When I open the storyboard, I know it will provoke this warnings. So if I don't add anything, before pushing a new commit, I reset any changes on the storyboard
I've come up with another good solution : using storyboard references as much as I can. So what I do is basically creating a storyboard for every flows (sometimes you can even have one storyboard for one controller). That way, when I work on a part of a project, it won't generate warnings on the totality of the storyboard. It avoids epic merge with many conflicts, it is easier to maintain, and it's faster to work on a small storyboard than on a huge one (Xcode is powerful, but when you have big storyboard, at a certain point it will lag).
But to answer to your question, I think everyone have that same issue when working on big projects, hopefuly apple will solve that one day, but for the moment you have to set good practices with your team. This is the only way to avoid wasting time at every pull ;) (at least for me, maybe someone has a better solution).

Im running Xcode 9.2. My storyboards are completely useless now. Ive
experienced what this article shows and have tried everything the
article suggested.
My issue occurred when I tried to add a single swift file to an existing
objective C project with about 320 files in it already. I removed the
.swift file entirely from the project, then did everything in the article
link above and still nothing fixed it including removing/reloading XCode
several times trying different things.
I filed a bug with apple but haven't received any replies in a week (of course). Apple seems to be slammed with tons of bugs lately they keep
creating.
Now I cannot work on this project's storyboards at all and Im dead in the
water. Really not happy with Apple lately!
Is there anything more that anyone has had success in fixing this issue?
Im completely dead in the water on this application now.
Fixed this by setting the command line tools version to the correct one. Mine was blank in Preferences / Locations
For my case, whenever I open a storyboard from a workspace, this happens. So I got rid of cocoapods and workspace, then just use carthage for thirdparty libraries. Storyboards opens faster and without this error.
Note that the storyboard I am testing is empty.
This turned out to be stupidity on my part. I had a script that was killing certain processes on my Mac over and over and it turns out that was my issue. When I removed it everything worked as normal again.
I deleted the derived data and my frameworks are now messed up. Even though I removed and reinstalled the pod, xcworkspace simply refuses to detect it, worse it no longer creates the links and now it's all in red.
Really at a loss here.
Sorry if this seems like a stupid question but I'm self taught.
Latest update: I managed to get the app running again by changing "Build Active Architecture Only" from NO to YES. Not sure if this is the right way to do things but it works for me.
Still the frameworks are in red and I am worried Apple will not accept this project for it's store.
Anyone can help me with fixing it?
Progress # Day 2
In one project I'm using I can't set breakpoints in Swift code, Xcode always crashes when reaching one of them, doesn't matter if it's a "manual" or an exception breakpoint.
In other projects everything works as expected, only for one project Xcode 6.4 (6E35b) always crashes.
I tried cleaning, deleting derived data, resetting simulator, restarting Xcode/Mac - nothing helped at all.
Anyone else experiencing this problem and hopefully knows what helps?
EDIT
Seems only to be the case on one machine (Xcode 6.4, 10.10.5), but not on the other (Xcode 6.4, El Capitan). But as I mentioned in the comments, reinstalling Xcode didn't help, are there some other preferences I could reset/delete?
EDIT2
Here's the Xcode crash log file:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/119600/Xcode_2015-08-12-074655_Stefans-iMac.crash
I would try uninstalling and reinstalling Xcode to see if it helps... I've heard of successes with this technique for similar issues.
Just delete the entire Xcode.app from /Applications, and reinstall from the .dmg. If you're not certain of the binaries and have time / bandwidth, consider re-downloading the .dmg.
If that doesn't work, try the following source control tricks (substitute "your favorite revision control" for "git"):
Try purging all objects not in source code control
Another approach: Check out the app again into a fresh repository (this will get even the files that may have been committed but ignored later).
If not under source code control, grab a .gitignore from here and add it to git, then check out into another directory (this will leave everything but source, interface builder, project files and resources/assets behind).
I'd suggest moving the breakpoint code to another location (such as making a function call and breaking either before or inside the function). However, if all Swift code has this problem, that may not work.
Finally, after making an interim commit (to roll back to), try it in Xcode 7 beta. Bit of a hassle because you have to upgrade to Swift 2.0, but if you keep the deployment target the same no iOS target changes are needed.
If this really is a burden and/or it's a small project, you could try creating a new project and migrating the files and storyboard over, but likely this is too much effort.
Either way, since you note it's pretty much all breakpoints in Swift code, file a bug with Apple's bug reporter. They really need to hear about issues such as this, since you don't seem to be alone in having this issue.
EDIT: Where are others seeing this issue?
Maybe we can see commonality -- since this is only reported in Swift projects (so far). A colleague has seen this problem with breakpoints (as well as stepping through code) in Xcode 6.4 on 10.10.4. (I've seen Xcode 6.4 crashes in the past as well).
I see OS version 10.10.5 mentioned as a target where this happens (#swalkner); is this a beta? If OS 10.10.4/5 is the only place we see this, it might be significant. If it's a project/OS interaction, it might be tricky to reproduce / fix, but I'd encourage everyone to submit detailed bug reports to Apple (maybe even link this post).
Some points to note if you're seeing this:
Operating System Version
Hardware
Target: Simulator vs. Hardware; iOS vs WatchKit app.
Target SDK version(s)
Swift only? Or on an Objective-C only project? Mixed?
Only one project, or several?
It's a longshot, but let me know if it's working:
uncheck the "Always show Dissasembly" check
Debug > Debug Workflow > Always Show Disassembly
In older versions of Xcode (<6.1):
Product > Debug Workflow > Show Disassembly When Debugging
I've just spent the past few hours trying to solve exactly the same issue.
I thought at first, it had started due to installing Xcode 7 on the same machine as Xcode 6.4. The problem certainly coincided.
However, due to having version control, I could look and see what files had changed since opening the project with Xcode 7.
The images.xcassets file had changed. Reverting this file back has stopped Xcode from crashing each time it hit a breakpoint.
I'm not sure whether this helps at all, but definitely look at images.xcassets and if needs be, delete it, recreate it and ensure it's setup 100%. It certainly fixed my issue.
So I am new to Xcode and Macs and I seem to be getting a lot of errors after trying to add a new framework. I needed the NSMatrix class and it was not included in the default frameworks (Foundation, CoreGraphics, UIKit, XCTest were. So I added the AppKit framework using Project Navigator>General>Linked Frameworks and Libraries. After I added that and #imported Appkit/AppKit.h in the .h that needed the NSMatrix class the errors for NSMatrix went away and it turned blue. Indicating that it found it I assume.
After that I tried compiling the project and got these errors:
http://i1346.photobucket.com/albums/p694/parkertmorris/ScreenShot2014-04-07at42152PM_zps3a1fdfdd.png
I tried removing the AppKit framework and the reference to it and compiling but I still get these errors. I also tried cleaning the project and deleting the DerivedData folder but nothing is changing.
Any ideas how I can fix this? Tried to research this problem for at least an hour.
Thanks
You and I are both new users (although I am a long time reader) to SO, and as such I'll try my best to help :)
I noticed you tagged this under "iOS". AppKit and NSMatrix are OS X specific, not for iOS, and you may want to remove the iOS tag as such and tag the question appropriately.
When problems like this happen to me in XCode, which occur less frequently with experience but still at annoying intervals, I tend to step backwards using Git (or whatever SCM you like) to a point where things are the least messed up. Based on the fact that your compiler errors are still occurring without AppKit/NSMatrix references, your problem likely exists independent of the framework, or at least alongside the framework.
Try opening your project.pbxproj file inside your project package and looking for duplicate entries of .h files under the same groupings. These types of problems sometimes bite me when rebasing/merging in Git and 90% of the time I can fix them with a very simple change to my project.pbxproj file. Even better, try diffing your previously working .pbxproj with it's current state and see what's going on.
Currently splitting an App into a (hopefully) reusable library for other games of the same franchise, and the game specifics, i do a 'lot' of refactoring. It seems that as i advance in this monk work, Xcode is creeping to a stall because it spends more and more time on reindexing the project after each refactoring action.
Any thoughts ?
MBP quadCore 2.3Ghz, 8GB, Lion, xCode 4.1.1
PS. I've had to step out of Xcode because of this, currently doing my refactoring with JetBrains' AppCode ... immature but promising product, but good enough for that work. Beats the pants out of Xcode on many code intensive usages.
It sounds like your project index might be a little messed up. Have you tried deleting the project's Derived Data?
Open the Projects organizer window (Command-Shift-2, click the Projects tab). Select your project and click the Delete button next to the Derived Data path. Xcode will recreate the derived data (it'll index one more time and your next build will be a full build from scratch).
ok, i think this is what is happening (after comparing what AppCode does with Xcode). Xcode reindexes all files modified by the refactoring AND their dependancies, whilst AppCode only reindexes the affected files. a bug in Xcode imho ...
