Using XCode11 Beta 4 - my project has dozens of XIBs and a bunch of Storyboards. Every one of them which contains a UITextView shows this error when opened in Interface Builder (in XCode).


"An Internal Error has occurred. Editing functionality may be limited"


When this happens, XCode shows only outlines of each subview, no content is visible.


XIBs which do not contain any UITextView objects are unaffected and work fine.


XCode shows a "Report Bug" button when this happens, and clicking it takes me to the IB log file which contains this:


=================================
    EXCEPTION:
=================================
-[UITextView _firstBaselineOffsetFromTop] only valid when using auto layout


I removed the text view from 2 XIBs, as a test, and they started working immediately.


Additionally, I created a test project in Xcode11 Beta4 and as soon as I added a UITextView to a XIB, the same error appeared. I thought the problem might be legacy XIBs created with older versions of XCode, but in fact it seems IB is broken when it comes to UITextView.


Does anyone from Apple know if this is being addressed in the next beta, and WHEN that might be (yeah, I know, but I had to ask, it's my nature).


Thanks.



Below is more from the Log.txt file in the IB-agent-diagnostic folder:


=================================
