Syntax not highlighted in Xcode

Question

The rest of my syntax is highlighted, but when I declare an @property for UIDocumentManager, it doesn't highlight. I linked Core Data, and I dont see any other reason for it to not highlight. Help Please?

edit it compiles without errors, and I have restarted it multiple times

Is the `UIDocumentManager` not highlighting or `@property`? Have you tried restarting XCode? — thegrinner, Jul 24 '13 at 18:33
Did you try changing themes in preferences? Maybe your theme is broken... — nielsbot, Jul 24 '13 at 18:40
i'm pretty sure, and even if it was, it is linked and it still isn't highlighted — Josue Espinosa, Jul 24 '13 at 18:49
Perhaps you have some invisible characters in that line? Perhaps delete the line and rewrite it from scratch. — Martin R, Jul 24 '13 at 18:55

Try adding #import <CoreData/CoreData.h>

If that doesn't work;

Go to the Organizer choose the Projects mode. Select your project and then for the project's Derived Data click Delete. I think this clears the index.

I had this happen to me and it irritated the life out of me for a while. Eventually, it just started working. – swampf0etus Jul 24 '13 at 18:52
I can assure you I am also irritated. Let's hope it works soon. – Josue Espinosa Jul 24 '13 at 18:53

I have had syntax highlighting break on Xcode several times. Usually it can be fixed by going into Organizer and selecting your project and "Delete Derived Data", then restarting Xcode.
