I recently trashed my Xcode 4.3.2 and download its replacement from the App Store. Now I can't access symbols for definitions via 'Jump To Definition' contextual menu.

I get 'Symbol Not Found'; ALL THE TIME!

Is there a way to re-index everything so Xcode 4.3.2 is aware?

I got some improvements when I forced Spotlight to reindex, though the problem is still there, but now sometimes the 'Jump to definition' works, which is an improvement on never jumping.

how to reindex spotlight:

-From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.

-Click Spotlight.

-Click the Privacy tab.

-Drag a folder or even an entire volume (your hard drive) to the list.

-Remove the item or volume you just added.

  • And then: Restart xCode, and all the jumping will work again. – jankoen May 10 '12 at 14:56
  • Very interesting! I eventually trashed the whole project and downloaded a fresh one from my subversion repository. That apparently did the trick. However, I'm going to follow your link... worth knowing! Thanks. – Frederick C. Lee May 11 '12 at 23:50
