I've searched around and can't find anything on this.
Using Swift 2 and Xcode Version 7.0.1 (7A1001). Every time I execute something in the debugger console, Xcode crashes.
The project is not very big, and has less than 10 third party frameworks.
I can't think of much more information that's relevant, but I'm sure there's more, so please do ask me if there's anything I should add to my question that would help.
I've of course cleaned build and derived data.
It's driving me insane. Thanks!

How are you maintaining your third party frameworks? Via Carthage?
If so then this is probably your issue: https://github.com/Carthage/Carthage/issues/924
This is an issue if the location of the /Carthage/Build/iOS folder is in a different location to where it was produced (i.e if it was compiled on a different machine and the absolute file path has changed).
A temporary fix would be to run carthage build --no-use-binaries on your machine to rebuild the symbols using the current absolute file path working around the bug.
But if you wasn't using carthage then its probably not your issue so sorry
I had similar problem with Xcode whenever I hit breakpoint.
In case you see this screen right before your Xcode crashes - you are lucky and my fix might save you. All you need to do is open this window and in the Project Navigator, select any file that you want, so that instead of that white blank view you would get your code. After this you are most likely will be able to successfully stop your app at your breakpoint and perform the debug.
I am not sure why this happens, but I suspect that the reason is Debug View Hierarchy mode, which you might have triggered prior to setting you breakpoint and trying to stop at it. At least this is when it happens to me.
I have similar problem earlier.
If you try to print non-optional variable and unfortunately it holds nil value then it breaks/crash. so that make sure declare all possible variables as "Optional type".

I have recently updated to macOS 13.0 and for that minimum XCode Version required is 14.x series. But my existing project never getting successfully building. Its getting stuck at some point.
Its not getting failed. Build process screenshot is attached below. Its not pointing to any specific class. Seems like there are lots of classes which are getting compiled successfully at last but still build process is stuck at some point:
Seen similar threads like below on apple pages but nothing seems working. Does anyone got resolution?
Xcode 14 project compile error
XCode 14 compile errors immediately disappear or do not appear at all
Something similar has happened to me in the past on a number of occasions. If the Swift compiler is hanging mid-build, usually the issue is that there is some expression that is too complex for Swift to do the type inference on.
What you need to do is first find the exact statement that is causing the hang. This is how I do it:
First find out which source file is causing the problem. Look at the build log to figure this out (the build log can be located by looking at the reports navigator ⌘9 ). Find the build log and click on it. The build log will appear in an editor window.
One of the compiles will still be in progress and its file is the one you want.
The next thing to do is comment out all the code and recompile. This time the compilation will finish (if you have the right file, or there is only one) but probably with a lot of errors. Then you add the code back in, function by function, until one of them causes the compilation to hang again. If it's not obvious which line of the function is causing the problem, comment it out again and then add the lines back one by one until the compilation breaks again.
Once you have located the line, you need to simplify the type inference on that line. If it's a closure, try adding an explicit declaration for its parameters and return type. If it involves some complex array, try adding a type annotation to its declaration. Also try breaking down complex expressions into multiple simpler expressions.
There's no one size fits all answer to this but usually, once you have located the exact line that is causing the problem, it should be reasonably obvious how to fix it.
Shortly after updating to Xcode 13.2.1 I started seeing some weird behaviour of breakpoints. When I run an app (in a simulator) some of my breakpoints change their look and turn to dotted blue outlined. Xcode does not stop execution at these breakpoints although code has been compiled, loaded and executed. I checked it in Console by adding some prints.
When I hover over breakpoint Xcode shows a message:
Xcode won't pause at this breakpoint because it has not been resolved
Resolving it requires that:
The line at the breakpoint is compiled.
The compiler generates debug information that is not stripped out (check the Build Settings).
The library for the breakpoint is loaded.
All trivial solutions like reloading, reapplying breakpoints have not helped.
Did anybody else see something like this? Is there a way to solve it?
Screenshot for reference:
Ok, so in my particular case rebooting laptop has helped. All breakpoints are now good. But it would still be nice to know the cause of the problem.
Make sure that the file in which you are adding breakpoint is having correct target set in target membership.
Click on .m file in which you want to add breakpoint.
Select the file inspector.
Check if you have selected correct target for that file or not (check below image).
What worked for me, was to select the files, delete them with - Delete>Move To Trash - and then drag the files back from the trash to the project.
In my case the issue was happening, because class was not added to the target, which I was trying to build.
For my case somehow the code path was never invoked and very likely considered as dead code. The same thing applies when not adding the file to the target that you want to debug.
This can be the case or somehow debugger might not be able to resolve your breakpoint. The first thing in this case should be cleaning derived data and any caches.
But instead of recloning your repo you can just delete breakpoint config from the location described in this answer
In Xcode 14 the problem is much more prevalent and "consistent". I figured out one pattern where it always fails and how to mitigate it.
If you have a final class then breakpoints set on or inside a private method will have that issue. If you remove private from the method or final from the class the breakpoints will get resolved properly.
If tried everything and nothing worked I suggest the following:
Reclone your repo
This is what worked for me.
I just passed through this problem and the solution for me was recreating the files.
Note: The ones I was trying to originally breakpoint on were copied from another project. When I created the new files, even though their Identity and Type looked just the same (target membership, encoding, paths), for some reason breakpoints started to work again.
Note 2: When copying and pasting code to your new files (if done manually), migrated breakpoints - created in the older file - will continue to fail. Only the ones created in this new file will work properly.
Hope it helps.
My case
Working on framework development. Framework is injected into the sample app for development/run purpose. Breakpoints inside the framework won't work.
Fix
Just removing xcframework in sample app and replacing with framework.
Reason
xcframework are precompiled outside of the app, so lib isn't compiled when project is built and that's why breakpoints doesn't work.
For me reboot the Xcode, and it works~
I have a Xcode project I got from another developer. Initially when I opened it it has a bunch of errors (most of which were un-updated frameworks). I got it to work after a while and I fixed it. I want pass it back to the manager since I'm leaving uni in a few months. I copied it over to my friends Mac to see what would happen if I just took the project and all it's folders and made it a zipfile. It didn't work for some reason. It gave me an error:
error: using bridging headers with framework targets is unsupported
But why did that come up? I mean it's the same code on the slightly different versions of Xcode (13.1 versos 14.1) but I doubt there was a massive change between the two that would cause this. I want to be able to pass these app later in the future without having to care about this stuff. I made a GitHub (link below) would cloning that work? Also the laptop I chose was just a fresh reset. Would it be due to not having coco-pods installed?
I feel like I could go through and fix it all on that laptop and document that but then I'm afraid that every time I put it on a new one it would come up with random errors every single time making my documentation moot.

With big help this was Fixed.
Things that fixed it.
Having the correct version of Xcode
Turning everything from absolute path to relative
Lots of other code fixes. But those are my project specific.
You don't need bridging headers in framework. Use should have something like "YourFramework.h" where you can import your .h files.
After I installed the latest version of xcode i'm having a very annoying issue.
While I'm coding, xcode goes nuts. Without me doing anything weird, just typing code, xcode stop recognizing classes.
For example: I want to add UITableViewDelegate to my class, but it doesnt recognize it. After i type it manually sometimes it recognize it and it is shown in purple, some other time it doesnt. But both times it won't really consider it, so if I try to write down a method of that delegate, it won't show it.
Other times if I try to call a variable of a certain class, while trying to autocompleting it, it shows <>.
Other times if I try to call any class, let's say I try to type var test = UIActionSheet, it just shows a few elements in the autocomplete list (raw types, primitives, the classes of my main project, but it doesn't show the majority of classes).
It's like it's missing the documentation and the link with the main frameworks...
I'm working on a simple tabbed app from yesterday and it's the 3rd time i started all over because of this issue, thinking that starting over would fix the issue, but it's not working.
If i open a different project while the issue is going on, the other project works ( but i recoded all over my app so it's not that one the issue, and i also have the same issue on other project... it just doesn't affect 2 project at the same time )
i tried deleting derived data
i tried restarting both xcode and the comp
What's going on?
Here are two screenshoots where you can see what's happening:
I had the same problem earlier.
Exit Xcode and delete Derived Data folder here ~/Library/Developer/Xcode
Restart Xcode and you should see the autocomplete working again.
You have to learn how to take it apart and put back together.
Either reinstall Xcode, if it doesn't help, create a new project.
Then copy source files one by one and see when it breaks.
Freshly install the XCode IDE version 6.1
Use CMD + F to find all _element.
Check that if you named one variable _element
The following code may reproduce the error:
class _element:NSObject {
}
let _element:UIImage = UIImage()
// type _element under this line
In my project, there is a simple table view and search controller. Everything loads and works fine, until I type into the text field. It then crashes at UIApplicationMain(), with a stack track of several UIKeyboardInputImpl methods. On a whim, I decided to mess with the settings in IB for the Search Bar itself—turns out, setting the option for Correction to Default or Yes causes the crash. I've never seen this happen before, and I'm tempted to call this a bug in the SDK. Can anyone confirm or provide more insight?
Xcode 4 Project:
http://db.tt/V6POWik
I've downloaded and checked your sample project for all available options of Correction and it didn't crash. You should try cleaning your build and derived data just in case and try again. If you are sure that the problem is reproducible I would love to know the steps I need to take to reproduce the error/crash.
Bug in the SDK…not much that I can do.
