I am trying to use xcode project on other xcode. When i open the project all works fine til open main.storyboard. On open the storyboard i cannot see the editor and only leave one error. Can some one help me please, Im stuck :)))
“Unknown model format” sounds like your Core Data model is corrupt or that parts of it are missing. If the project still works on the original Mac, something may have gone wrong when copying it to the new Mac. You should get a new copy and verify that all files are copied without changes.
I downloaded Xcode and am getting "Interface builder Storyboard Compiler Error" when I try and run any project.
So far to troubleshoot this I have(based off any similar threads):
-cleaned the file
-created a new blank file (which still gives the compiler error message)
-uninstalled and reinstalled Xcode (Version 8.2.1)
-tried installing Xcode 8.3 beta 5 (still gives me the same error)
so far nothing has fixed this error.
Also I'm up to date on OS, running macOS Sierra version 10.12.3
I am learning swift for work and am hoping to get this figured out soon.
Thank you!
Xcode 8.2.1:
quit Xcode
delete .xcuserdatad folder inside xcuserdata of .xcworkspace(if using Cocoapods) or .xcodeproj
reopen Xcode, clean project and clean build folder (Under Product option)
That should be ok!
I had the same problem while trying to archive my app for the app store. I tried twice and same problem occurs.
Then i deleted the derived data, cleaned the project and restarted Xcode - THAT FIXED it.
Hopefully this will help someone else
I Solved the problem by cleaning the build folder.
Just use cmd + option + shift + k and then build the project by using cmd + B and hopefully solve the problem.
I was having this error for xCode 9.
An .xib file was creating the error.
What I did was,
removed .xib file
added it back to the project
cleaned and built the project
That solved my problem.
I also ran into this with XCode 9 Beta - 2, the quick nuke from orbit didn't fix it. Just check out the Log file it points you to and you can at least patch the offending issue, even if it a bug on Apple's end. For me, the TabBar didn't like an icon image, removed it for now and it Built fine.
I'll try replacing it yet with another image. Apparently it doesn't like its own System-provided Images.
Exception name: NSInvalidArgumentException
Exception reason: System-provided UIImage instances cannot be encoded
in NIBs - raised for instance '<UIImage: 0x7fd377eb4510>, {18, 20}'
None of the above suggestions worked for me. After further research I found that I had dragged a segue (popover) from a button inside of a tableview cell.
This is not allowed, as the touch anchor screen location is dynamic while the table scrolls.
I fixed the problem by anchoring the whole tableview instead and programmatically altering the popover arrow placement to be in line with the cell's button.
I just had the same problem.
After systematically removing objects from the xib I found that a button which was disabled and hidden created the internal error. After removing the button it works. (I tried to set the button back to normal : visible and enabled but that was not sifficient).
Hope that help you.
I have filed a bug report.
I have solved this issue by following below steps:
1. cmd + shift + k
2. cmd + option + shift + k
3. Restart Xcode
4. Restart you mac.
Hope this will also help you. Thanks!
I had this same error after updating to xcode 9.4. After doing a Product -> Clean and then Product -> Build still no luck. Then Done a clean again and restarted. After the reboot the build succeeded.
I use Xcode 9.4.1 and Xcode 10 beta 4 on macOS 10.14 beta 4. I opened the project that threw this error in both versions of Xcode.
While removing different files from bundle resources, I also got several other errors, such as "Interface builder XIB Compiler Error" and "Failed to launch IBCocoaTouchImageCatalogTool via CoreSimulator spawn".
After trying every other solution I could find, what finally worked for me is reinstalling Xcode 9.4.1, reopening the project and cleaning the project/build folder.
I speculate that this happened because there were times when both Xcode versions were open simultaneously. The two versions use common files and the simultaneous usage possibly caused an internal inconsistency in the rendering of Interface Builder.
I had this problem too, in Xcode 11;
In my case it happens after solving conflicts on .xcodeproject during merging code.
I followed below steps:
Remove storyboard from reference of project.
Select MyProject.xcodeproj and show content of that, then open
project.pbxproj by Xcode or text.
Search for storyboard name and removed all line contains that names.
Build project
Add storyboard to project.
Build project again.
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...
I've built a small app using storyboards and it ran great. Just before final testing I decided to try it out to see if it runs on iOS 4.3. I clicked on the gray 5.0 in the project settings and selected 4.3.
The app failed to build with the following error message:
Storyboards are unavailable on iOS 4.3 and prior
Both the iPhone and iPad storyboards tell me that.
The issue that when I switched back to iOS5 target, I still keep getting these errors from both storyboards, and the product won't build!
I checked: iOS Deployment target in projects settings is 5.0
Target app deployment target is 5.0
Build settings uses iOS 5.0 SDK
What else do I need to do to restore my project to a buildable state? Is this a brand new bug or am I forgetting something?
Update: I kept getting this error even after doing a clean.
I changed the debugger in Schemes to "LLDB" and did an additional clean, the project now builds and compiles
I also got this problem and finally I solved this by following procedure:
Open XXXXXX.storyboard
Open Identity and Type tab in your right view of Xcode.
Set the value of Development in Document Versioning to "Xcode 4.2" (my default value is "Default Version (Xcode 4.1)".
Change the value of Deployment from Project SDK Version (iOS 5.0) to iOS 5.0, then back to Project SDK Version (iOS 5.0)
Rebuild the project and the error should be resolved.
The solution that worked for me was just to delete the ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData directory for my project.
I'm just going to add this one as another possible answer here, as the first solutions worked for me several times (as I mentioned in my previous comment) until today when I couldn't get my project to compile for love nor money with the same error.
With the debugger changed and Xcode set to 4.2 and restarting several times I could not compile. However I discovered another way to get around this issue.
Select the storyboard in the left column and 'Show in Finder' and drag the storyboard to the desktop. Xcode will now change its colour to red and be unable to compile.
Clean the project, drag the storyboard back from the desktop to the directory in finder.
Then, it builds and the error goes away again.
I don't know what triggered the error originally as I'm developing under iOS5 and building for 4.3, but it seems to come up from time to time and.
This seems to be a bug in the latest XCode that I've also run into too, did try the OP's solution of changing debugger and that had no effect.
It cropped up for me since I tried storyboard with 4.3 and then tried to change back.
My solution was to close XCode, open it again and clean. Then I compiled and it worked fine.
Hope this helps others.
While other solutions helped me, they didn't work 100% of the time. I don't know enough about XCode to know how reliable this solution is, but at least it worked for me so you can try it in your project.
In the left hand side of Xcode, open the project navigator. Click the top item, which is your project. In the panel immediately to the right, you'll see a choice to choose between your project and its targets. Click the project, and then in the panel to the right, under the "Info" tab, set "Command-line builds use" to Debug (in my two projects where I was having the error, both were set to Release).
A picture is probably easiest:
Another idea: Open another project with storyboards in Xcode and try to run that. If it succeeds, you can come back to the current project and it should build. I think this clearly indicates a bug in Xcode.
After trying all the answers in here (removing the Storyboard reference, quitting Xcode, cleaning, changing debugger, etc.), none worked (with Xcode 4.5).
The only way I got it to rebuild (and it was a total guess) was to open the Storyboard file in a text editor and delete the following line:
<deployment version="1280" identifier="iOS"/>
It should be near the top of the file, in the <dependencies> section. After that, the project was built successfully and Xcode even re-added that line to the file, but, it still builds...
Go figure...! Hopefully it can help someone!
At last, an elegant workaround that seems to do the trick for me! (I sure hope it works for everyone else. This one's stubborn.)
Once your settings are back safely in iOS 5-land, try Cmd-Option-Shift K (aka "Clean Build Folder..." from the menu - hold down Option to see it), then build.
the solution is simple,
right click your storyboard file, and show in finder
then select the folder where the file is (this would probably be in the en.lproj folder)
right click on the MainStoryboard.storyboard file causing the problem and open with text edit
find the line that reads or something like this:
<development version="4300" defaultVersion="4200" identifier="xcode"/>
and change it to something like this:
<development defaultVersion="4300" identifier="xcode"/>
save the file and build. Et voila...
Ok, I tried everything above and problem still occurred. So I just remove storyboards (as reference not move to trash). then build successfully; after that I added them again; Build, And finally worked.
I was having the same problem. I tried all the above answers and all combinations and nothing worked. Then later after doing some research, I analysed that the simple fact that the error that was throwing at me was straight forward.
Just go to the Build settings and instead of selecting the xcode project file, select the product file and change the Deployment target to 5.0 or 5.1. The error should go off.! I did this in Xcode 4.3 in Lion OSX. It worked fine for me!!
I also had this problem, and nothing helped. Even opening another project and trying to build failed.
What I did, and what for me, was going to project -> info and under "Deployment Target" change iOS Deployment Target to whatever, build and than change back to whatever it was and build again.
Here is yet another random, voodoo, flail that seemed to workaround the bug just now. (after other techniques here had not helped) I renamed the storyboard file (and the entry for it in the info.plist file). Haven't tried the "drag to/from desktop" ritual yet.
Tonight, I have lost like 45 minutes to this issue. grrrrr. Ok I feel better now.
After trying all the suggestions above, without success, I got my code to compile doing the following.
Edit -> Refactor -> Convert to Objective-C ARC
rm -rf $HOME/Library/Application Support/Developer/Shared/Xcode
rm -rf $HOME/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dt.Xcode.*
rm -rf $HOME/Library/Saved\ Application\ State/com.apple.dt.Xcode.savedState
rm -rf $HOME/Library/Developer/Xcode
seems to help with Xcode 4.3.2
Had similar issue. XCode would build and run other projects fine but couldn't get rid of the error on project I had changed, not even backups from server. Tried all the above solutions but nada. Here is what worked.
Uninstall XCode.
Delete user/library/developer/XCode folder.
Reinstall XCode (maybe you should start this before searching for the folder, download took me 20 minutes).
Start up, clean and build.
Worked for me. Saved me some time. Sometimes when the scalpel doesn't work it's time for the hatchet. Now I get to pick a new font to code in (this will clear your preferences)!
The only solution that has worked for me is to create another project without Storyboarding enabled, build it, then switch back to the storyboard project, clean and build.
Here is yet another random, voodoo, disconnect your iPhone if it is connected.
I simple changed deployment target to 4.0 and Development to 4.3 from MainStroyboard.
I clean the project; and restarted the mac, :) i know it sounds funny but restarting xcode didn't helped. maybe there is a cache in memory...
Then i built the project ; it was ok!
I recently upgraded to Xcode 4.0.1 from the last version of Xcode 3x (not sure which). Install went fine and I can open and view all my old .xcodeproj files without problems. All except one!
The error I get inside Xcode is
"The file "GCSCalculator.xcodeproj" couldn't be opened because you don't have permission to view it. To view or change permissions, select the item in the Finder and choose File > Get info."
Obviously I've checked that and the permissions are exactly the same for all files as the ones in the projects that do open in Xcode. I changed permissions for everyone to ReadWrite just in case, to no avail. I feel I've tried everything obvious and can't seem to find anybody else with the same problem.
Anyone got any ideas about a fix or workaround? Typically it was one of the only projects that was actually completed so its very frustrating!
Thanks.
I ran into the same problem and found that clicking on the project in xcode and then switching the view to standard editor view will let you change all of the project settings. After editing the summary, info, and build settings areas it started working
Click to project-> Build Settings -> Compiler for C/C++/Objective-C -> Default Compiler. Hope it useful :D
