Storyboard Not Loading View Controllers - ios

I have updated my Mac to High Seirra version 10.13.1. After the update a storyboard is not working correctly.
The views in the storyboard are shown as blue outlines instead of showing the view detail.
I am using Xcode 8.2.1.

It's a temporary issue, just quit the XCode and reopen again.

This version does not support collection view cell content view. Open this document with at least Xcode 11.0

I was excited to check out Xcode 11 with my existing xCode project, so I started coding with the latest beta version. Today I wanted to upload my new app update but of course Apple rejected the binaries advising me, to use a GM version of Xcode 11 (not released yet) or the latest Xcode 10 app.
I was able to revert all changes made by Xcode 11 (provisioning profile, etc.) and opened the project back in Xcode 10 but I stuck in an error saying
This version does not support collection view cell content view. Open
this document with at least Xcode 11.0.
I am not able to build, archive or even open the storyboard in xCode 10. I found a single collection view in my storyboard in Xcode 11 which I created using the beta. But also after deleting the entire UICollectionViewController incl. the cells and cleaning the project, I am not able open the storyboard back in Xcode 10.
I've read accepted answer, but it wasn't obvious where to find "property" which could be just switched off or something like.
To make it more clear: you just need to replace all occurencies of collectionViewCellContentView with view in storyboard source code. For example see screenshot:
Next, rebuild and Xcode will remove <capability name="collection view cell content view" minToolsVersion="11.0"/> requirement; or remove it manually if you're using Xcode 10.
Hope will be helpful.
EDIT
Found how to "switch off" using of collection view cell content view, but you'll still need Xcode 11 to open storyboard. Change size to Default in collection view cell prototype size inspector:
Try to open the storyboard file with a text editor and search for the property. Usually when there is a warning, Xcode will show this warning during compile time. See if double-clicking the warning redirects you to the line of code where the problem occurs.
Just go to your storyboard which is not opening. Right click on it , Open it with Source Code and search for the property which is not allowing xcode to open your Storyboard.
Search for the property e.g "collection view content view".
Delete that property block. Now Open your Story board as an Interface Builder.
Note: By Deleting the property you will lost that in your view controller screen. :)

View Controller is not showing with Container View in XCode 8 StoryBoard

I'm building an app which using storyboard and designing view controller using container view. When i first designing, everything seems fine. But after i quit and restart the xcode, this problem is occurred like in image.
The View Controller is missing but the segue still exist, I have found out that somehow the view controller just hide somehwhere and if I delete the segue, the VC will show up again.
Is this a bug or somehow i screw up my XCode?
Thank you.
Looks like an Xcode bug. Lot's of bugs appeared in Xcode 8. Filing a bug report with Apple and updating to the newest version (even if it's a beta build) looks like the only solution for this.

Xcode 8.0 layout issue after open storyboard and perform update frames

I developed a project using xcode 7 and i updated my xcode to version 8.0 . According to the below steps it happens (I just wanted to show in which step this layout bug appears).
i opened my previous project and run in xcode 8 it works fine at first without opening the story board from xcode. (This is only a one view of my app).
And i open the story board by selecting iphone SE (new feature of xcode 8)
i ran the project after opening the storyboard, then this view looks fine too but the storyboard view was a mess
(but many other views looks messy in my iphone after opening the storyboard)
storyboard view looks like this
according the the stack overflow researches i perform "update frames" action in storyboard to this view. after that it looks good in storyboard
but it looks wired when run in iphone after perform "update frames"
is this a bug in xcode 8 or any solutions to this. this layout issue starts after opening the storyboard from xcode 8, without that it works fine in UI
you can check this link :https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/63133 it should help you a little bit , or (I have done this option in my projects) you can change the frame( of ViewController) to freeroam (600, 600) , if your view looks totally different. The final option is to make you constrains again to fit the ViewController's size(the longest but I think that the best option).
Did you put your UI in a subview?
Cause I have the exactly same problem with you,
and I solved the problem by adding " self.layoutIfNeeded() " in the area which generate my subview.
Hope this help.
This issue is resolved by Apple in xcode 8.1 please download the new xcode and try it again running on simulator or device you may get this issue resolved i have done this and it resolve my issue at once while i am now using xcode 8.1.

Layout issues after updating to Xcode 8

Here is a before and after of one of my screens after I upgraded to Xcode 8.All I did was open up my main.storyboard and from there, I built and ran my app on my phone.In my version control, I can see Xcode is doing a lot of changes to my main.storyboard just from me opening it. Whenever I delete those changes, I can see what I use to see in Xcode 7.3.1.But, as soon as I re-open interface builder with my storyboard, I see those changes come back into place. Is there something I can do here?
Before Xcode 8
After update to Xcode 8
I had a similar problem with tableview images not appearing once I converted the storyboard file to be Xcode8 compatible. This looks like a bug with Xcode8, so until a bug fix is released, here is a work around:
Open your storyboard in Xcode 8 and choose an initial device view. Make changes as you normally would.
Once you have completed your changes, select the storyboard -> File Inspector -> Opens in -> Select 'Xcode 7.x'.
Select 'Save and Close' when prompted
Your storyboard changes will be saved, and your storyboard will function as it did pre-Xcode8.
When you need to make other changes to the storyboard file, follow these steps again.
XIB or Storyboard set default as older version 7.x and Save and Close. Temporary solution, but works. Don't open again once you have done Save and Close. Otherwise again need follow same steps from begin.
Eh the same problem. I partially managed to fix it in the following way (for Xcode Version 8.1 (8B62))
In the document outline of Storyboard, I clicked on each scene which had the yellow arrow indicating some layout issues (Number 1 on the screenshot)
After this, for each problematic scene, I had to click on "Update Frames" small icon (Number 2 on the screenshot) which fixed all the layout issues per scene.
However one scene in my case was still in crying state after transition from Xcode7 to Xcode8. I had to fix it manually by adjusting constraints or adding missing constraints.
Phew, not nice surprise of XCode8 and Storyboards. If you used AppCode editor, you won't have such problem, since it doesn't support Storyboards ;P
Good luck!
Xcode 8.1 Beta 2 resolves this issue. Please check this download link

Please follow the threads for any possible solution:(I believe it happens to many developers).
Xcode 8 GM seed Storyboard issue
Xcode 8 - Previous storyboards getting distorted
(I used anyH anyW width 600) When Xcode updated to Xcode 8 it changed all my ViewControllers size. As a result all the layout was distorted.
Currently I see only 3 solution for the issue (I wouldn't trust on waiting for fix soon).
1.Go for each Viewcontroller and fix it it by Update Frames.
2.Go to the main ViewController Size Inspector -> Freeform -> 600 as most of the controllers are inferred it will change the size for
all of them.(Be careful on the impact of new Features Apple my want
to introduce).
3.Discard the changes in git for the storyboard (I would't suggest it because Apple also inserted some updates which may be important to
Xcode).
Additional link for the new AutoLayout features in Xcode 8 (WWDC16):
Making Apps Adaptive, Part 1
In my case works solutions suggested by Akhil Kateja and I also need to reset Width and Height of the main view:
1) Set View Size to Free Form
2) Reset Width and Height of the view to the original size:
Finally save and you are done.
For me the solution was simply to click on the UIViewController having issues and then Editor > Resolve Auto Layout Issues > All Views In ... > Updates Frames
It re-arranged the views to fit the existing constraints based on the newly selected default view (iPhone 7 in my case).
Also note: if you get a Navigation Bar Misplaced View warning like I did, simply select the UINavigationController/UIViewController and then Attributes Inspector > Bar Visibility > Shows Navigation Bar - toggle it OFF and then ON again.
Setting View Size to Freeform from Inferred worked for me. It can be found under the heading Simulated Metrics in Attributes Inspector.
I had the same problem and I've solved it by force update the controller's view constraints. Put the following code in your viewDidLoad() function
self.view.layoutIfNeeded()
I selected each controller and clicked on "Update Frames" and it fixed the layout.
The answer from #david-truong (https://stackoverflow.com/a/39589860/1407528) is not working in my case, so if you are in my same situation, try this:
Download the previous Xcode 7.3.1 from here: https://developer.apple.com/download/more/
Undo all your changes (if you have a code manager like git. If you don't, you should 'https://githowto.com/')
Open the project with Xcode 7.3.1.
In the case you have all your devices updated to iOS 10+, this version of Xcode will not recognize those devices as compatible devices. So, try with this trick:
Go to: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport
Copy the folders related with iOS 10 or 10.1 to: /Applications/Xcode 7.3.1.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport
Open the project with Xcode 7.3.1 (restart Xcode if you have it already opened)
Select your connected iOS 10+ device
Push Run
Note: New features like Swift will not be available using this trick, but you should be able to load and build your project.
Hope this will help
When i updated Xcode from 7.3 to Xcode 8 and run the app, some of the views are perfectly displayed but some are distorted.Then, i checked the nib file and it prompted me to choose particular device size and then show the nib according to that device size which is offcourse not Any-Any(Xcode 7.3). So all the nibs file are not displaying in a correct way.
Solution work form me :- press the yellow arrow like showing in image below
it will prompt a pop up which show options like
choose Update Frames with Apply to all views in container checked.it will solved around 90% of distorted UI and rest of the auto-layout constraints problem can be solved manually.
I fixed the issue using the Xcode Version 7.3.1 you can download the .dmg file from apple developer portal. I used the Autoresizing in every app and it works great for me.
i will update to Xcode 8 only if they can fix this bug.
Download it here: https://developer.apple.com/services-account/download?path=/Developer_Tools/Xcode_7.3.1/Xcode_7.3.1.dmg
To fix a similar problem, I configured the xib as Freeform (not Inferred) AND saved xib file as Xcode 7.x compatible. Both steps were required in my case. I hope that helps!
I notice one new button in Xcode 8.2, (check the orange circle in the image). It will give you some help.
Steps:
1. Open the storyboard and select any device you want
2. Just select the View Controller
3. Click the mentioned button (as in Image)
4. It will updates the frame for that view controller and you can proceed with it
I didn't found any better solution than this. Please reply if found one.
update constraints and layout subviews in viewdidload solves the problem
- (void) viewDidLoad {
[self.view updateConstraints];
[self.view layoutSubviews];
[super viewDidLoad];
}

Weird Bug in XCode StoryBoard after upgrading to iOS SDK 7.1

Last night I updated XCode and the iOS SDK.
It looks like it messed up the UINavbar on the storyboard, here is a pic:
It shows two titles overlapping, if I delete the title , then there is still another one in the background, Im not able to remove that second one.
The strange part is it magically disapear, if I run the app.
XCODE version --> Version 5.1 (5B130a)
iOS SDK---------> Version 7.1
Yes, there's a new property for the uiviewcontrollers named "exteded edges" you must uncheck this in the interface builder inside the uiviewcontroller preferences. Or by inserting this code in your view did load. This will tell the controller not to draw the view under the navigation bar.
if ([self respondsToSelector:#selector(edgesForExtendedLayout)]){
self.edgesForExtendedLayout = UIRectEdgeNone;
}
I checked again and there was an extra navigation bar, its weird that It shows only after I upgraded, I think something happen with that view because I embedded it into a navigation controller.
