Xcode 7 beta 2: LaunchScreen.storyboard could not open document

Question

I am getting this error on two different Macs (iMac and Mac Book pro). No idea why people can't reproduce it but I need some help.

I am running Xcode 7 beta 2 (23 June '15) on a Mac running OS X Yosemite 10.10.4.

Can't even compile and run my project..

I created a single view application project from the create menu, and that's it.

EDIT:

I tried to delete and re-add the storyboard file (also the Main.storyboard cannote be opened) and I still get the same message. This is the crash report:

i got the same problem after updating OSX to El Capitan Beta 4. I can't event build a single view template application. Reinstalling Xcode didn't solve it. I think it might have something to do with the iOS Simulator: When choosing the device to run the application on, there is no Simulator shown for me- so there might be something wrong with it – Missy

Exact same thing with me. I've filed a bug report. Hoping this gets resolved sooner than the next beta. But not too hopeful! – Foveola

I posted an answer that worked for me! – Foveola

@Foveola thanks I am unable to find that folder in Yosemite, any idea on how I can locate it? – Gilreath

@Gilreath I updated my answer. Try that for Yosemite and please let me know if it works! – Foveola

Answer 1

This worked for me on El Capitan.

Go to

/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Profiles/Runtimes

and remove the profiles in there. Restart Xcode and it should work!

---

For Yosemite users try the following:

• Open up terminal

cd Library

cd Developer

cd Devices

rm -rf *

Also, you can always type ls to list the files and directories. There may be another folder such as Profiles on your machine. Not sure since I only did this on my Yosemite machine that wasn't having issues.

Restart Xcode, clean, build etc.

Use sudo if there are any permission issues.

Foveola

yep this is the solution! – Missy

You saved my day! I wonder how you came up with this solution~ – Exclosure

I am unable to find this in Mac OS 10 Yosemite – Gilreath

I'm still unable to run Mac apps, as it says "Failed to load Addressbook class CNContactNameFormatter" and crashes. – Toxicogenic

@Foveola Do you basically delete all the files in there? Im running the latest version of Yosemite with Xcode 7 (App Store release) and the link I found was: Library->Developer->Core Simulator->Devices - do I delete all the folders in there? – Colton

@Colton Yes, I did that, reinstalled Xcode, restarted, etc. and it worked for me on one of my machines! – Foveola

This is not the answer to the question. This would address (but very very overkill) a similar issue. – Crescent

Answer 2

Go to your Target/General and fix the Deployment target. I hope that this helps

Elfrieda

What do you mean by this? Do you mean the deployment version number (i.e.: 9.0)? – Colton

@Colton yes that is exactly what I mean. – Elfrieda

I found the Deployment Target was greyed out, just opened the list and reselected the same deployment target (9.0) fixed the issue for me. Thanks @Beyond2021 – Paleontography

Thank u!! I'm glad that it helped. – Elfrieda

Answer 3

Open the LaunchScreen.storyboard in text mode and look for any anomaly.

You can also remove it and create a new one as you only have the default UIViewController inside.

Answer 4

1. Clean Project
2. Clean derived data

Wait for reindexing files
