Xcode 7b6 issues:: Foundation-[NSLocalizableString length]??

Anyone seen this error before?


I think it relates to a importing a JSON file but I'm not sure??

Same error here (Xcode 7 GM). I found the reason on my side:


UITextView in UITableViewCell on [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:cellIdentifier forIndexPath:indexPath] in - (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath causes the error. If in storyboard the text is set (eg. 'Text'). But it does not happen in all my table views.


Solution 1 (no real on, see why...):

With a white space 'Text ' or no text, it works. => it's magic...


Solution 2:

My storyboard is in Base.lproj folder outside the app project folder. If I change it to en.lproj folder (still outside the Base.lproj folder) it is working.


I have multiple storyboards and multiple table views. Not verified for all of them. Try to find a better solution. The above ones are not my real choise, but you can verify, if the error is on your table view, too.

Same problem here: when I create a new storyboard and copy all the content over in Interface Builder, the app will run. But as soon as I enable localization for the new storyboard (just base localization, no new language), the error will occur - crash after 30000 calls of [NSLocalizableString length]. App was running fine on xcode6.

I have no clue how to debug this. It seems to me the error occurs during interpretation of the storyboard (after application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions). None of the viewDidLoad methods gets called.


EDIT: Tracked the problem down to a TextView where I specified text content already in Interface Builder. It turns out that this text content is causing the crash in xcode7. Removing the text in IB did the trick (due to localization I had to set it programmatically anyway).

I wrote a Bug Report to Apple.

Thank you for posting this! saved me hours!

This is an amazing solution. I ve done the same and solved the issue. Thanks very much!

My Bug Report was a duplicate. The other report was already opened by someone else. That report is still 'open'. So, keep waiting...

This should be resolved in the Xcode 7.2 beta.
