Unable to Create Sticker Pack with Xcode9 and iOS11

Question

I'm aware that Serige and Diethard had posted similar threads. However, since our console outputs are different and since my scenario remains unsolved, I'm posting this here under a similar discussion title.

Everything (making sticker packs) was working as expected until I updated my iPads to iOS11. Upon testing a new sticker pack, Xcode 8 noted that it would be unable to run the sticker simulation on my iOS11 devices and that I should update Xcode to 9. So I did. However, updating to Xcode 9 crashes every simulation and what I mean by that is both the Messages app and Xcode 9 stop running.

I've tried the solution Nink posted to Diethard's thread. Admittedly, I'm unable to find this elusive ellipse.... and it may be because my output is different from the ones posted by both Serige and Diethard. Here's the output I get on my console:

Probably at least one of the constraints in the following list is one you don't want.

Try this:

(1) look at each constraint and try to figure out which you don't expect;

(2) find the code that added the unwanted constraint or constraints and fix it.

(Note: If you're seeing NSAutoresizingMaskLayoutConstraints that you don't understand, refer to the documentation for the UIView property translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints)

Answer 1

Okay, I got it to work partially. Here's what I did:

TRIAL 1

I logged out of iMessage on my iPad and logged back in with the same email that I use for my developer credentials. I don't know if this is relevant, but I'm mentioning it here just to be thorough. I also went to Settings > General > Messages > GIFs and Stickers and deleted everything.
Went back to Xcode and went through the motions of choosing my iPad as the device destination (as opposed to the virtual simulators) and then pressed play. As I expected, the programs (both Messages on my iPad and Xcode) crashed. // Note that what I mean by Xcode crashing is that it stops the simulation.

In resignation, I pressed play again... and it worked --- that is, neither programs stopped! I thought this was all a fluke, but I've played the simulation 4 times without anything stopping or crashing.

TRIAL 2

I closed Xcode and then reopened it. I then selected my iPad as the device destination as before and played the simulation. It failed the first second and third times.
I then went to Settings > General > Messages > GIFs and Stickers. I deleted all of it.
I went back to Xcode and pressed play. It's working yet again. I stopped the simulation and press play again. Still working. I stopped the simulation and quit Xcode again.

TRIAL 3

Went to Settings > General > Messages > GIFs and Stickers and deleted all of it again.
Reopened Xcode. Selected my iPad from the list of devices and pressed play. Here's the good news: It's still running. No crashes. I've stopped the simulation and pressed play and so far so good.

---

This isn't a great/permanent solution by any means, but if you wanna test your stickers, this may be something worth trying:

Before launching Xcode, delete all the record of sent stickers from your Messages settings on your actual device by going to Settings > General > Messages > GIFs and Stickers.

Answer 2

"Settings > General > Messages > GIFs and Stickers."

There is no Messages under General

About, Software Update, Airdrop, Handoff, Carplay, accessibility, iphone storage, background app refresh, restrictions, date and time, keyboard, language and region, dictionary... etc. No Messages.

Under Settings >Messages there is no GIFs and Stickers option. "

So where are you seeing this? Is this only on iPad? I don't see this in the phone.
