Xcode 7 crashes when trying to select the Main.storyboard.

Even when building a new ios single view project, it will build and run, but I can't select the storyboard without xcode quitting. Needless to say, I'm dead in the water here.

Any ideas? Anyone else having this problem after insalling osx 10.11 and xcode 7 ?

We saw this in the labs at WWDC. The crash was caused by an offending custom color picker. Try removing any custom color pickers you have installed on your system.

Wow! That did it, I had something called RCWebColorPicker installed ( from I don't know where ). Deleting that file fixed my problem. Thank you very much! Now I can play.

Hey kcathey.


How did you search for custom color pickers? I've looked at system preferences, applications, but I think I have none of it installed :/


Any other tip?


Thks

Look in 'Users/yourUserName/Library/ColorPickers'

I found a directory RCWebColorPicker.colorPicker floating around in my /ColourPickers directory. Had a creation date of 1 Jan 2011. Don't know where it came from, but I zapped it and now can open my storyboard in Xcode 7 Beta. Thank you kcathey!

Thanks. My ColorPicker folder is empty. How did you find that a custom color picker was the responsible? Maybe I can find who is the offensor here and help others.

Well, I just followed kcathey's advice and removed the one that I found. It was the only one in my ColorPicker folder.

Thanks to everyone for the help on this.


My Storyboard was also crashing.


But I found a "RCWebColorPicker.colorPicker" file too. Once I removed it, and relaunched Xcode 7 Beta, my Storyboard no longer crashed.

I found this one too. It had a Unity logo, so it may have snuck when I did some Unity work years ago.


And removing all color pickers fixed my storyboard crashes.

Same.

Nothing found in the color picker folder.

Hello,


this won't work for me as there are no flles in the folder.


Any alternative solution?


I am puzzled as I can't get even a basic template project to work.


That's what I do:


  1. create a new single view application
  2. add a watch target
  3. select the .storyboard file


CRASH!

Any luck? Can't find the file either..

I got a warning:

Could not open document

Failed to connect with the iOS agent. Please file a bug report at bugreport.apple.com.


😕 any suggestion??

i have same problem...
