I just updated xCode and am trying to update one of my projects, however, it appears that the changes i am making in the storyboard are not changing the application itself.
The story board still shows my changes but when i debug the app, it remains unchanged.
Please help.
Thanks in advance!
Do a deep clean that is Shift + Option + Command + K
Reset your simulator
Quit Xcode
Empty trash
Open Xcode and try again
Can be applied to most Xcode problems.

Today in the morning I tried to compile my project to run in my device and I found the destination toolbar disappeared and I cannot choose my IOS device or IOS Simulator device as target. (I can do it in the Product/Destination Menu)
After some research I found the >> at the right on the screen and when I pushed a Scheme option appeared but it is disabled and I can't enable again.
This is what I tried with no success:
Open an old project to see if the problem was in my project
Create a new project (with Swift and Objective C but I don't think this make any difference)
Restart my computer
Hide and show the toolbar (View menu/Hide Toolbar and the View menu/Show Toolbar)
I tried all the previous options with the device connected and disconnected
I have installed the IOS Simulator 8.4 (when I run my project it runs in the last selected simulator) and XCode 6.4.
Looks like Xcode hides that menu when the window is a certain size. I have to make my window quite large before it comes back.
Not a fix as such but you can work around it using the menus: Product > Scheme and Product > Destination
You're probably running into the same issue I am. Like #BrandonWilliams said in his answer, it appears again if the Xcode window is wide enough. The underlying cause, for me at least, seems to be that in this build of Xcode (6.4) running on El Capitan beta 2 (with Xcode 7 beta installed), I am seeing duplicate simulators for iOS 8.4. And since there are two of the same version, the Schemes dropdown shows some sort of long GUID next to each one, causing the Scheme dropdown to be quite large:
I came to SO looking for an answer but realized that I had seen this issue before.
So the problem is basically that auto layout sucks (I mean it is not working properly in Xcode 6) and on El Capitan, the destination toolbar is for some reason hiding instead of collapsing properly. So when your Xcode window is narrow, the destination toolbar disappears.
But, if you expand the window far enough, it shows back up again.
In case you can't tell, in the first screenshot, the window is about 1241 pixels wide and in the second screenshot the window is 1541 pixels wide.
Go to Product then Destination and choose at which simulator or device you want to test your build.
I'm running with same problem. You can select device or change scheme using below steps:
Select Product from menu
Select Scheme or Destination
Select required Scheme option or Destination option
Alternative Solution:
The only solution is to use Xcode 7 or above. I've installed Xcode 7.1 and found Scheme/Simulator list available. Refer screenshot.
It seems that Xcode 6 or below doesn't support OS X El Capitan.
I am still seeing this problem in Xcode 7.2 on iMac with resolution 1920x1080. Resizing the XCode windows dens't help. I can have the menu bar back if I push the green button and go to full screen mode. But that's pretty annoying. This is how I finally figure out a solution that works for me. I notice that only if I open the project file that I have been working daily that the menu bar is missing. If I create a new project, the menu bar is there. And here is my solution:
Remove your project file on disc (or move it to a different folder)
Open the Welcome to Xcode window by shift+command+1
Make sure your project is no longer under this list. If it is still there, click on it and Xcode will tell you the project is not found and it will be removed.
Add the project file back and open it and I have my menu bar back (if you have moved it, simply opening it from a different file location may work I guess)
I guess the problem is that some cache value in Xcode about the project file is messed up somehow. Hope this helps.
I make my XCode screen little big and now find both options.
On XCode 9.0 beta, this worked for me: select View -> Show Toolbar from menu
right click on title bar -> select show toolbar
Fixed it by deleting the following file ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dt.Xcode.plist and restarting Xcode.
The downside is that Xcode preferences dropped to defaults obviously.
When I launch one of my Xcode projects, I am presented the storyboard of the project. I can edit the storyboard, I can run the project on my device and simulator. But on changing to any other file from the project navigator or any other way (like opening any file of my project from finder), I get stuck with a rolling rainbow cursor which keeps on rolling till infinity (I have waited for as long as an hour) and I have to force quit Xcode. My other projects appears to work fine.
I have tried the following fixes:
Restarting my Mac
Reinstalling Xcode
Resetting Xcode Settings from http://ioslau.blogspot.in/2013/08/resetting-xcode-settingspreferences.html
I have Xcode v6.3 and Yosemite v10.10.3.
I don't want to recreate my project as it will suck time.
Any help or advice is appreciated.
This may be a known issue with the latest release of Xcode:
apple dev forum
The accepted answer and the apple dev forum didn't help me.
I am using a swift project with no IB and no Storyboard.
What I did was, close Xcode, restart the mac, open the Xcode not from the app but form the .xcodeproject file. It worked.
For me, the solution was to make a copy of the files that were uneditable, delete the original files from the Xcode project and drag the duplicates in.
I sometimes get a dialog in Xcode which states "Simulator in use." Restarting Xcode didn't help.
I have no Simulator Icon in the Taskbar to quit it and I have no running Simulator.
Is there any solution without rebooting?
I know some of these points to not adress your specific issue since you wrote restarting Xcode would not help you but I'll try to provide a full list of possible fixes for people who might stumble upon this one day.
Is the "Stop" Button in the left corner of Xcode still clickable ? ==> Click It
Try to reset contents & settings of iOS Simulator
Clean Build & Clean Project
Quit iOS Simulator (look at the Activity Monitor if there is still something running)
Restart Xcode
Restart Mac
This is all I can think of. For me most of the times I can resolve it by just restarting Xcode. As you wrote this does not work for you so maybe some of the other points of my list will help you.
Normally this happens when you terminate the iOS Simulator but not the debug session itself, which is why most of the times the "Stop" button in the left corner is clickable most of the times...
This dialog (and the state that triggers it) comes entirely from Xcode and not the simulator itself. This dialog will present itself if Xcode is already using the simulator from another workspace. For example, if you have three projects open at the same time and you do a Build&Run (eg: click "play") in one of them, you will get this dialog if you do a Build&Run in one of the other projects.
I have installed Xcode 4.3 version. I can't click on any button of the Xcode bar, because Xcode freeze at startup, and if i move the cursor on the bar, i have only the loading cursor available. So i can't click on Window Tab to restore the Welcome Window, and i can't open a new project.
It seems that Xcode is not loading any project, and maybe it is the problem it has not found any project, and it continues to search anyway. If I try to launch an existing project, Xcode tries to open it, but the result is always the blank window with "No Editor".
Please help me to come out from this issue or any one please tell me how can I remove all the logs, settings and back up files of Xcode
Thanks in Advance
I solved the problem :) Simply download and install the latest version of iTunes, it's fixed :) Now i can work with Xcode. I dont know whats the connection between Xcode and iTunes. Cheers....
I'm using MonoDevelop 2.8.5 and XCode 4.2.1.
Every time I'm switching to monodevelop window from anything else, it starts to update XCode project file and pops XCode window.
More over, when I switch from XCode back to monotouch, it updates the project and switches back to XCode.
Thats's really annoying. How do I disable this "feature"?
Problem was fixed by downloading new Monodevelop: 2.8.6 beta
This behavior cannot be disabled, since there is no other way that MonoDevelop can use to communicate with xcode 4. This is because MonoDevelop creates an Xcode project on the fly (when you dbl clic any xib file within MD) and then MD launches xcode with the generated xcode project.
when you do all necessary changes in xcode and you switch back to MD the OnFocus event of MD (i don't really know if thats the event's name btw) process the changes you have done on the xcode project and modifies it in order to maintain both projects (xcode and MD) on sync
My suggestion is just make all necessary changes on xcode save them and then close it, then work on MD as usual and if you need to reopen xcode again work on it, Xcode won't bother you as long as you don't focus the MD window
I hope this helps.
