Try cleaning your Xcode's derived data. That seemed to solve the problem for me. Run this on your terminal:

rm -rf ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/

it doesn't, unfortunately – Fabio Mignogna Mar 30 '17 at 22:35
Sad to hear it. Maybe on your situation there is something else causing it. Try to delete derived data, clean the project and maybe remove Xcode cache. – tf.alves Mar 31 '17 at 06:25
I did everything I could do, but nothing happen. Just waiting for 8.3.1 :( – Fabio Mignogna Mar 31 '17 at 08:11
Best of the lucks to you. This is a problem that, apparently, happened in previous versions of Xcode. Some people suggest deleting Xcode, removing all the files associated with it, and then install it again. Try that. I think Xcode 8.3.1. will take a while to come out. – tf.alves Mar 31 '17 at 08:13
I did, everything. Really Thanks – Fabio Mignogna Mar 31 '17 at 11:51
I also tried this. Deleted xcuserdata as well, completely re-installed Xcode, but nothing helped. Xcode still crashes randomly shortly after some code editing – arrteme Mar 31 '17 at 12:52
What do you mean by "partially"? – tf.alves Apr 03 '17 at 14:26
Can you please check if the crash reports the very same issue, or if there is any change to it? – tf.alves Apr 03 '17 at 17:22

I have experienced a similar issue, with Xcode 8.3, and it was crashing shortly after I began to edit my code in any swift files in my project, editing Objective-C files never caused a crash

There are a few steps that seems to help with fixing the issue:

Quit Xcode
Delete xcuserdata folder (Navigate to your project in Finder, right click on YourProject.xcworkspace, choose Show package contents, then delete xcuserdata folder).
Delete DerivedData

I'm not 100% sure you need to actually quit Xcode before deleting these though.

Ugh, although it only seems to help temporarily, Xcode starts crashing again after a while. – arrteme Apr 25 '17 at 12:02

crash info

I updated to Xcode 8.3 yesterday. Xcode constantly crashes for no reason. I used a lot of methods including: Unloading reloading Xcode, rm -rf ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/, Shutdown restart mac.

In Xcode8.2 I modified the name of newWeeklyMissionVC.swift to NewWeeklyMissionVC.swift class and in storyboard. So I guess after update Xcode8.3, Xcode can't indexing the storyboard, and cause crash.

So I resolved this by deleting the NewWeeklyMissionVC.swift class in the storyboard and Rewrite it. Now Xcode doesn't crash anymore.

Right click project.xcworkspace
Show Package Contents
Delete xcuserdata folder

Then File > Open > project.xcworkspace and project will open perfectly fine.

I also had this problem. After installing the pending Mac OS Sierra update, my Xcode is not crashing anymore.

I have the same problem. I've notice that if you clean project (CMD + SHIFT + K) Xcode doesn't crash anymore.

I started to have same problem when I added Google Maps reference to my Bridging-Header.h file. Once I removed it, it started to work again.

#import <GoogleMaps/GoogleMaps.h>

Ok, so this seemed to solve for about an hour. It doesn't seem to solve it permanently – David Apr 05 '17 at 20:55

I auso had same problem.(with message "Path must be absolute but is not")

In my case, it's caused by ACEDrawingView Pod. When I put "import ACEDrawingView" in a swift file, Xcode crash. Xcode doesn't crash after following step.

Remove ACEDrawingView entry from Podfile
pod update
Download ACEDrawingView source zip from GitHub
Add sources to project, and create Bridge-Haeder.

Regards.

I had more or less the same problem except mine crashed after a few seconds. Only for a particular project. The important bit from my crash report was:

"ASSERTION FAILURE in /Library/Caches/com.apple.xbs/Sources/DVTFrameworks/DVTFrameworks-13231/DVTFoundation/FilePaths/DVTFilePath.m:883"

I tried everything i could find online, but after looking around for ages, what seemed to work for me was to open Xcode in a different project(or new project) and switch off the Xcode Source Control. Go to Xcode preferences, then Source Control, and then untick 'Enable Source Control'. Then if necessary try restarting Xcode and possibly your computer.

I had this issue and couldn't open any project. I deleted my derived data and even restarted my mac but it wasn't working.

I ended up creating a new project. Then I was able to switch over to my existing projects.
