I opened an old project in Xcode 6 Version 6.0 (6A279r).
For certain .xib files IB is showing resize-view buttons as follows:
But, for certain .xib files IB is not showing resize-view buttons:
How can I enable the missing resize view buttons?
Alright, this was simple.
Just go to "Attributes Inspector" and select "Freeform" under size:

How can I connect a label, button, or other element from my Storyboard to my coding file in Xcode 13? When I first loaded Xcode, there was no storyboard file added to my project. I had to add one myself. Then, when I created labels and buttons on the Storyboard, it wouldn't allow me to connect to the coding file the way I used to (clicking Ctrl and dragging the label/button to the code). I feel like I'm missing something simple but I can't find any solutions online. Thanks in advance.
You have selected a Multiplatform template. This is only supported by SwiftUI.
Select a single platform template (iOS, macOS etc)
I don't know the reason, but Xcode from today won't open .xib and .storyboard files as visual editor, but only as XML.
If I right click on one of these file, trying to choose "Open as..." this is the result. Very strange.
Load the corresponding view controller source in the assistant editor, the main editor switched to the IB view. From then on, all storyboards and Xib loaded as IB views.
Select storyboard > Editor > Assistant
All storyboards loaded as IB views.
Not sure it's feature or bug in Xcode.
In the new Xcode 7.2 (iOS9), how do I add a viewcontroller.swift file and link it to a manually added view controller in the storyboard?
(This seems to be different than previous versions of Xcode where one would manually add a Cocoa Touch file after dragging a new view controller object in thestoryboard.)
Thank you.
It has always been the same for me but here are the steps that I follow.
Right click the file explorer on the left
Click Source->Next->Subclass UIViewController
Drag UIViewController into Interface Builder
Click the yellow circle to focus on the UIViewController
Click the Identity Inspector
Set the Custom Class to the name in your Swift File
I have a problem with storyboard preview. When I select a old ViewController created with a previous version of Xcode (6.0), the preview show me only the navigation bar. But, if I create a new ViewController and put inside it some elements, the preview works. The current version of Xcode is the 6.3.2.
Thanks
The interface elements that you put inside the "old ViewController" were added under a particular size class. You are not in that size class with your preview, so those interface elements are not present.
I was using Xcode and making changes to my storyboard... no problem. Now, I get the source code for the storyboard but not the storyboard images!
When I right click on the storyboard file, I don't see "Interface Builder - IOS Storyboard" as an option.
Anyone have this happen to them?
see: XCode 4.2 Version Inspector Hides Storyboard
When I right click on the storyboard file, I don't see "Interface
Builder - IOS Storyboard" as an option.
Open As > InterfaceBuilder - IOS Storyboard
probably you opened the file as source code...
What's always worked for me when Open As -> Interface Builder - iOS Storyboard isn't an option is to:
Close Xcode
Reopen
Sometimes this happens when you have:
Just resolved a merge conflict
Split into diff view to compare previous and current commits
