i am making a very complicated app with a lot of classes.
my app worked great and i worked on it for the last month.
the last time i worked on it i added a function and it worked great, i saved the app and ran it a few times since and it worked. the last time i turned my computer on, it prompted me that an update for xcode is available. i updated it, and since then every time i run my app it runs with no errors but on ios simulator it shows a black screen. what can i do? i worked really hard on that app. thanks for the help in advance.
There's few issues that could happened, withou detailed description of this issue, you can try following solutions:
reset simulator
check if your initial controller is set up in storyboard(select controller and press attribute inspector, select is initial view controller):
if you're setting initial view controller programmatically, check if that controller is not nil in app delegate
another tip - try to use UI debugger, that helps a lot:
Any debug messages in the Xcode output? That usually will give a clue.
One thing I can think of, is that in your
- (void) applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication*)application
delegate, try setting the window's root view controller to your view controller. Example:
[window setRootViewController:viewController];
[window makeKeyAndVisible];
Again, the Xcode debug output will confirm if this is indeed the case though.
Yesterday, after not working on this project for some time, I booted up my mac again to continue this iOS project. Unfortunately, all of the sudden, after making a view fixed after making it freeform, Xcode gave me a "internal error. Please file a bug report and include /var/.........". I cleaned the project, but now every view appears to be empty, while there are objects in it. See the screenshot below.
Afterwards, I have updated to Xcode 7.2 where the problem still persists within this project. Other projects work correctly.
Better yet, whenever I place a new object, for example the picker view, it shows perfectly.
Thanks for taking the time to answer my problem

Try this , I have solved same problem by this way.....
Storyboard -> Attribute inspector -> simulator size -> Fixed
Hope you would have fixed it already. I had also faced the same problem and solved it with following fix.
Changing size classes back and forth. Storyboard -> File inspector -> Interface Builder Document -> Use Size Classes(reverting the size class in storyboard to the size class which we designed our views originally).
Now I am using the XCode 7. But sometimes controller property windows is empty. In these situation I need to restart the pc. Then only it is showing the property. Anyone know the solution. (In this picture I selected the label, button and viewcontroller)
I've experienced this a few times. I always went to launchscreen.storyboard and it usually helped. If not, try restarting Xcode (or even your computer). Sometimes I had to do all of this a few times to make the inspectors show again.
Now I found the solution. Just close storyboard and clear the drivedata then it is showing. But I don't know the reason.
Xcode storyboard assistant editor stopped showing related files.
"Automatic" is selected and "Class" is filled in Identity Inspector.
It was working before, but know it has stopped.
"Auto" or "CounterPart" modes are still woking for other files except StoryBoard.
A few days ago, I tried to update from Xcode 5 to 6, but later on gave up.
Would that have something to do with it?
With XCode 11 onwards, you can option(alt) + click on the file that you want to view in assistant editor.
Simple Fix.
Found the solution (at least worked for me), it's the same bug that causes you not to be able to create new outlets. You must delete the [DerivedData] folder:
Close the project you are working on with.
Delete the【DerivedData】folder of you project. (This folder may inside your project's folder, or inside
~/Library/Developer/XCode/DerivedData/(your project)/ ) or somewhere
else that were setup by you.
Restart Xcode.
see here.
In same case this worked for me:
Right click on ViewController file(on left pane) and choose Delete -> Remove Reference.
Right click on folder where this ViewController file was and choose Add files to .. and add this ViewController file which your just deleted.
Profit.
Deleting the Derived Data didn't work for me nor force quitting Xcode and restarting it.
The only thing that worked was deleting both the class and the storyboard (only the reference to them) and adding them back to the project.
Hope to help someone.
If anyone is wondering how to find Assistant editor in XCode 11 then
please find the steps from the below image. You can show this options
in storyboard or Xib files on upper left corner.
Maybe it's too late but just with the keyboard, you can launch a reset for associated files.
Use the keyboard :
command + option + shift + z
You can find it in the menu Xcode->View->Assistant Editor->Reset Editor.
Click first on the assistant window, then click on 'option'+'alt' and right click on the view controller that you want.
I have Xcode 13.1 and none of these solutions is working for me, but this simple solution works for me every single time. With your Storyboard and (empty) Assistant Editor open, in the upper right of the Editor window click the "Add Editor on Right" icon Editor On Right Icon, and just as promised, it will open a new editor to the right of your Storyboard and (broken) Assistant Editor, only the Assistant in THIS window will be working! Just find the "Close Window" x on your broken editor, close it, and in its place will be your shiny new working Assistant!
Full Editor View of where to click to open the new Editor On Right
Tried all the above methods whereas after simply running the app Command + B fixed this issue and I was able to select the screen under automatic.
This command on terminal fixed my issue:
defaults write com.apple.dt.XCode IDEIndexDisable 0
simply exiting and reopening Xcode worked for me.
For Xcode 8+ versions
Check at top process indicator that if Xcode is "indexing" files... if yes, then, please wait until it finishes. Once it get finished. Your file will automatically appear as counterpart in Automatic section.
If Xcode is not showing "indexing" in process bar, then perform as #Anna Chiara's Answer
I deleted ~/Library/Developer/XCode/DerivedData -> didn't work
Xcode->View->Assistant Editor->Reset Editor is disable
Finally, I figured out that the class name of File's Owner of .xib file is incorrect (the class doesn't exist). I corrected it and Assistant Editor works again.
Hope this helps you
I had the same problem. Finally this is what worked for me.
Changing the name of the ViewController File.
Change the name of the class to the new name via the Refactor tool
Refactor tool
The only thing that ended up working for me was copying over the code from the offending ViewController files and completely deleting them, then creating new ones with the exact same name and pasting in the previous code.
The assistant then linked up to the new ViewController files with no issue.
None of these answers worked for me w/ XCode 13. However, the following worked:
Rename the ViewController class to ViewController2
Update the reference in the storyboard to ViewController2
This made the assistant editor appear.
Change the name of the class back to ViewController. Change the reference in main.storyboard back to ViewController and hit enter (Step 2)
I had same issue and spent almost 2 hours of trying different aproaches finally I found something to solve problem.
I've created two or more VC at the same swift file and I think that's why IDE confused about the files.
So I suggest that you should delete your viewcontroller class and clean than reassign class.
I hope it works for you too.
For what it is worth, this was happening to me for the last couple days on 9.3 . I had just added a new build schema for an alternate debug symbol on testflight. It was not until I removed the new schema and then deleted Derived Data and restarted did it start working again. I have re-added the new schema back in and it continues to work. Not sure what the issue was, but that is what solved it for me.
In case anyone is watching I had a bizarre instance of this (Xcode 11): I deleted a View Controller that I'd done incorrectly; dropped in a new one, created the UIView and associated. BUT I didn't bother to create the outlet from the View Controller on the previous screen. Strange that it let me work for a few minutes, then after I had turned off the assistant editor to do something else, turned it back on and only had the UIResponder.h file. Edit - this happened again. Had to delete the 'wire' to the next screen, then recreate - then option to get to the correct .m and .h files reappeared.
I faced a similar issue and here's what I did
I had a swift file and a xib file with its class connected to the swift file like so inside a group folder, and it doesn't show that they're connected.
But when I take them off the folder the assistant works somehow, so I took them off the folder and made an outlet from a UILabel then put them back inside the folder then they're permenantly connected.
Quite Xcode and reopen it. This is solve my problem.
I had the same problem. But my problem was about having the VC's under "View Controller" folder. When I move VC's to main folder instead of "View Controller" folder, I was able to reach the assistant without problem. If you have the same issue like mine, you can solve by deleting all the VC's and create again under your sub folder.
Just add the Class on right side of your story board which you want to open in assistant
Hi i deleted the navigation view called lista but the tab bar still shows the lista icon , and in fact it stills show that view which i deleted previously any suggestions?
Like matt said just reset everything in the simulator i like shown here.
How to Empty Caches and Clean All Targets Xcode 4
Agree with what matt is saying, clear all the derived data and reset the simulator.
