error creating outlet "could not find information for class"

When I try to create an outlet, I get a message that says, "Could not insert new outlet connection: Could not find any information for the eclass named ...". What should I check?

I fixed it by copying and pasting the contents of the swift file into another swift file and using the new file instead.

I would first check that the name of the class you declared for the object is correct, including uppercases.


And perform a clean build folder (option clean).


Tell if that works.

You could try to declare the IBOutlet in the code and then connect from the code to the IB view.

I did it several times when I could not connect from IB to code.

In fact that must have caused a reindex. And solved the problem.


But the trick I mentioned may be a faster way to solve, if this occurs again in the future.
