I inherited an Xcode project that targets iOS 12+, with source code written in Swift 4.2, and UI created using storyboard. The project compiles without errors, bur whenever I access Main.storyboard, Xcode would start re-indexing and re-building the entire project, repeatedly.

What might be causing this problem?

First thing, always, when opening a legacy project with a new version Xcode is to use the Product menu to clean the build folder.

Otherwise be sure that locations/paths involved aren't permission locked, and that you have several tens free space on your drive so that Xcode can do it's work without having to start over.
