Xcode not refreshing code so errors still display

Question

I was wondering if there is a refresh short cut for refreshing code because there has been many times I'm fixing a "error" and the code doesn't refresh so i don't if i fixed it and the error still remains but the problem is fixed.

Coding without live issues? No thanks!

This problem appeared after renaming my Xcode project and some combination of these steps fixed it for me:

Uncheck / recheck "Show live issues" under File > Project settings > General
Clean build folder (open the Product menu and hold the "option" key)
Delete derived data (How to delete derived data in Xcode 8?)
Restart Xcode

Thank you! This should be the accepted answer! Of course I know that **build** will remove the phantom errors but that is not a valid alternative for working live checker what is an important part of almost every modern IDE. – davis Jun 21 '17 at 09:25

This is a common occurrence in Xcode.
You can simply press cmd+b to build the project. That will remove any errors.

Hope that helps :)

this is workaround; not a solution for live issue checker not working properly. – davis Jun 21 '17 at 09:26
Why thanks for the downvote, @davis. The fact that it does not work for you does not mean it doesn't work for everyone. – LinusGeffarth Jun 21 '17 at 10:06
@LinusGeffarth it is not about whether your workaround works or not. Look at it this way - does your solution fix the broken live issue checker? – davis Jun 21 '17 at 10:46

Yes, for me, and at least one other person, it did. – LinusGeffarth Jun 21 '17 at 10:53
