Okay, log time reader, first time writer.
!!! NOTE: While reading this question, please bear in mind I am writing using AppleScript in a fresh Cocoa-Applescript project. I am NOT using straight Cocoa/Objective-C. !!!
With that out of the way.
I have been using Xcode and ASObjC for a while now and have developed quite a few productivity apps for myself, so I have a pretty good idea as to what I am doing and how it is supposed to work. However, this issue has me pulling my hair out!
A few weeks ago, I updated to OSX 10.8.4 (this is when I believe the issue started). Since then, Xcode no longer recognizes any outlets or actions I define in my AppDelegate file.
Here is an image illustrating the issue:
http://cl.ly/image/0a1b1T1O1O1m
"theLabel" should show under Referencing Outlets and "doAction" should show under Received Actions
This is especially strange when viewing projects created before the issue:
http://cl.ly/image/3J0m2a2q392r
The "!" to the right of each outlet states: AppDelegate does not have an Outlet named [outlet name] The Actions have a similar warning message.
I have done some Troubleshooting on the issue with no success.
Restarted Xcode - issue persists
created fresh project - issue persists
pulled all .plist files related to Xcode - issue persists
trashed DerivedData folder - issue persists
removed and reinstalled from App Store - issue persists
created fresh user account and project - issue persists
reset NVRAM - issue persists
tried on different computer - issue resolved
Issue seems to be isolated to this machine.
If anyone can help me with this, that would be awesome. Maybe I am just missing something important.
I'm usng OS X version 10.8.4 with Xcode 4.6.2.
I tried out what you said.
I made a new AppleScriptObjC project from the Xcode template with document-based application set to false, so Xcode create a new project for me with an AppDelegate.
I got the actions for the AppDelegate class to work both tying menu-items to First Responder and tying them directly to the AppDelegate.
I tried changing the name of the app delegate to "ThisIsTheDelegate". This didn't work until I also changed the name of the AppDelegate class to be "ThisIsTheDelegate" in Xcode's identify inspector.
I don't know if this is the problem that you are having or not.
You wrote in your original question that:
tried on different computer - issue resolved
So it must be something about your configuration.
When I first tried AppleScriptObjC in Xcode, I got some errors that were resolved on my computer by removing some osax files from
/Library/ScriptingAdditions
I don't know if this is the problem that you are having, but I removed them all and stashed them somewhere else for safe-keeping in case I needed them, and I haven't needed them yet.
I believe that these .osax scripting additions were installed by a third-party, namely Smile and Satimage.
I understand that there is some good functionality in these scripting additions, but Apple recommends that third-party developers don't even develop .osax scripting additions because they as so global.
What's better is to use Scripting Agents which are apps that aren't even in the picture unless you give them a tell command.
That's all that I can think of.

everything worked without issues, now with MacOS Mojave i get this in Xcode:
#import <iTunesLibrary/ITLibrary.h>
Error: File not found
Already tried reading the Framework, ensured the search paths are set, but nothing changes...
The funny part is, Xcode knows about the framework, because it suggests it while typing the Command, but on compile, it fails, cannot create App Updates anymore due this reason.
Solved it myself, the new Xcode broke all the Framework Search Paths, had to remove all entries and fix other Frameworks by hand, but it works now
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'm getting the following error:
An internal error occured. Editing functionality may be limited
for all my projects I open with xcode. I've tried the solutions that I've read on here, the only thing I haven't done is restart my Mac, as I am working with macincloud. The error is there for all my old projects. How can I fix this when I'm using macincloud?
This happened to me when I had two versions of Xcode running on the same machine.
The Xcode-select value could be pointing to the wrong version. (For example, if you're running Xcode 9, but it's pointing to an Xcode 8 version that's also installed on your machine, you might run into this)
If this is your issue, then try changing the value to the right directory by using something like this:
sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
This also, however, happens if files have incorrect permissions or a library/developer file has been manually deleted.
If you have only one version of Xcode installed, try deleting the derived data of the project and force-closing + restarting Xcode, or even reinstalling the IDE. More on deleting derived data here.
Let me know if any of this was helpful!
I recommend shutting down the app and then restarting. If this doesn't work, then it could be that you have to update XCode. You could also use an alternative to MacinCloud, like XCodeClub.com
Hope this helps!
I had this similar issue in my Mac and the issue has been resolved by my self. I had tried all the answers and also some from other links.
At last what I did is, I checked the storyboard that I have been working as, source code. Then removed the last view controller (Scene) that I had created and been working on from that storyboard file. Then cleaned and removed derived data. Restarted Xcode. And then it was looking fyn. I think there were some issues with the constraints on a storyboard that had around 8 scenes, so that Xcode LLVM couldn't load it correctly. Thanks for the response.
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.
I am working on a fork of the Xbox HID project (to allow greater configuration of the controller) and came across a really strange issue.
The project is three projects, which I have grouped together under a workspace, which works well, it compiles them in order (kext, daemon and prefpane) and all works.
However, I decided to uncrustify the code (thanks Alcatraz!) and standardise the names and locations of source files. This required me to update the project as file paths changed.
Once this was all completed the PrefPane wouldn't load. For some reason it was instantiating and sending initWithBundle to an object that was NOT the File's Owner in the XIB.
After a lot of debugging and hair-pulling I discovered the object it was instantiating also happened to be the first file listed in the Compile Sources build phase. Once I moved the correct file to the top of that list the PrefPane once again launched and worked as expected.
That seems wrong, why does it need to compile this particular class first... better yet, why is it picking up only the first compiled class instead of the one specified in the XIB?
I am using Xcode Version 6.2 (6C131e) under OSX 10.9.5, however, I am using the OSX 10.6 SDK and have 10.6 as the deployment target.
I was having some other issues with the project in question, so I rebuilt all three projects and this issue went away.
I am guessing there was some sort of issue with the Xcode project itself as I believe it was probably upgraded from at least two previous major versions of Xcode.
Lesson here seems to be, rebuild the project files themselves and see if that fixes the issues!
