Xcode 7 beta 2: LaunchScreen.storyboard could not open document

Question

I am getting this error on two different Macs (iMac and Mac Book pro). No idea why people can't reproduce it but I need some help.

enter image description here

I am running Xcode 7 beta 2 (23 June '15) on a Mac running OS X Yosemite 10.10.4.

Can't even compile and run my project..

I created a single view application project from the create menu, and that's it.

EDIT:

I tried to delete and re-add the storyboard file (also the Main.storyboard cannote be opened) and I still get the same message. This is the crash report:

i got the same problem after updating OSX to El Capitan Beta 4. I can't event build a single view template application. Reinstalling Xcode didn't solve it. I think it might have something to do with the iOS Simulator: When choosing the device to run the application on, there is no Simulator shown for me- so there might be something wrong with it — CodingMeSwiftly, Jul 24 '15 at 09:56
Exact same thing with me. I've filed a bug report. Hoping this gets resolved sooner than the next beta. But not too hopeful! — Bseaborn, Jul 24 '15 at 15:20
@Bseaborn thanks I am unable to find that folder in Yosemite, any idea on how I can locate it? — mm24, Jul 31 '15 at 10:59
@mm24 I updated my answer. Try that for Yosemite and please let me know if it works! — Bseaborn, Jul 31 '15 at 13:15

This worked for me on El Capitan.

Go to

/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Profiles/Runtimes

and remove the profiles in there. Restart Xcode and it should work!

For Yosemite users try the following:

Open up terminal

cd Library

cd Developer

cd Devices

rm -rf *

Also, you can always type ls to list the files and directories. There may be another folder such as Profiles on your machine. Not sure since I only did this on my Yosemite machine that wasn't having issues.

Restart Xcode, clean, build etc.

Use sudo if there are any permission issues.

I am unable to find this in Mac OS 10 Yosemite – mm24 Jul 31 '15 at 10:54
I'm still unable to run Mac apps, as it says "Failed to load Addressbook class CNContactNameFormatter" and crashes. – strangetimes Aug 16 '15 at 04:09

@Bseaborn Do you basically delete all the files in there? Im running the latest version of Yosemite with Xcode 7 (App Store release) and the link I found was: ```Library->Developer->Core Simulator->Devices``` - do I delete all the folders in there? – Supertecnoboff Sep 18 '15 at 19:40

@Supertecnoboff Yes, I did that, reinstalled Xcode, restarted, etc. and it worked for me on one of my machines! – Bseaborn Sep 19 '15 at 00:36
This is not the answer to the question. This would address (but very very overkill) a similar issue. – Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia Mar 31 '16 at 18:14

Go to your Target/General and fix the Deployment target. I hope that this helps

What do you mean by this? Do you mean the deployment version number (i.e.: 9.0)? – Supertecnoboff Sep 21 '15 at 14:33
@Supertecnoboff yes that is exactly what I mean. – Beyond 2021 Sep 22 '15 at 21:38
I found the Deployment Target was greyed out, just opened the list and reselected the same deployment target (9.0) fixed the issue for me. Thanks @Beyond2021 – Workshed Sep 24 '15 at 19:18
Thank u!! I'm glad that it helped. – Beyond 2021 Sep 24 '15 at 23:45

Open the LaunchScreen.storyboard in text mode and look for any anomaly.

You can also remove it and create a new one as you only have the default UIViewController inside.
