I am using Xcode 7.1.1 on OS 10.11.1. When I make changes to fonts, background colors, etc. in interface builder it crashes. I can make one change then when I make another one it will crash so I've been having to save after each change then open the project again after the crash and make another change then repeat the process. Does anyone know of a fix or workaround for this?

I have a problem in my existing macOS project.
My windows/views render all blurry on a retina Mac when I run it.
It look perfectly fine in Xcode when working with the storyboard.
If I add a new window to my existing app it looks like this (all blurry):
while when I do a new project it looks like this (perfectly sharp):
i am searching for what might cause this for hours now but am still without a clue.
Does anyone know what might influences the rendering of my macOS app?
Turns out I had to set
NSHighResolutionCapable
to
yes
in my projects plist file.
Not sure tho what exactly is different on the "new" project that removes the necessity to do this.
with this property my old project is rendering properly now.
I develop mainly IOS apps but, recently, I worked on an OSX app. Both are possible with Xcode (I use 8, with swift).
Unfortunately, when I switched back to my already-existing IOS project (after restarting Xcode), the storyboard selection menu for the object library shows only OSX objects, not IOS (e.g. UIImageView).
I have googled without success and tried restarting Xcode, also without success. Can anyone help me fix this?
I did a lot more searching and came up with:
Xcode is loading in OS X objects instead of iOS objects
There there are other solutions proposed but the one that worked for me was to close the assistant editor and then, in the file list ( leftmost window in Xcode 8), I double clicked on the storyboard file. Problem solved. I am surprised that this bug still exists in this latest version...it is very troublesome.
Just curious - is it possible to change the color/design of elements in storyboard and see them reflected on the app that is running?
For example, changing the background color of a label, and then seeing that result on my iPhone (assuming Xcode is currently running the app) WITHOUT rebuilding the whole app?
You want to see changes made in your source reflected in the application running on your device, without having to rebuild and deploy the app (I think). If so, you cannot do that at this time using Xcode and iOS.
I have searched quite a lot for an answer to this problem. If I have a general application, HelloWorld, and create an interface and then go to test it, then click on the Home button, not even the default grey/white icon is there like it's supposed to be. Anyone have any ideas why? I've even tried specifying a custom icon in the Info.plist file, but still nothing...
I've got the latest version of Xcode and the SDK as well. (3.25 - 4.2)
I solved it. Apparently, in order for it to put the icon there, I have to run it from within XCode, and not Interface Builder.
I have a relatively confusing problem: I created several empty Xcode projects and ran the iPhone and iPad emulators just to see what happens and everything is fine, empty, but fine. However, then I decided to actually add some content but when I double click my .xib file nothing happens. The Xcode loses focus, but nothing opens. The Interface Builder simply does not open.
Do I need to start it separately somehow or do I need to download and install it separately or something else altogether?
I had the same problem when i first installed xcode.
What solved it for me was manually starting the Interface Builder once (via spotlight).
After that it worked again by double clicking on the xib file in xcode....
The most common cause of this in my experience is failure to reboot after installing or upgrading Xcode. Xcode gives you the impression that you don't need a reboot, but in practice you do. Have you done this yet?
Try to search for interface builder in Mac OS search bar on the top right of the screen, open it, click on open existing file. Open any xib file once, then it will be automatically detectedd by xCode.
