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.

Answer 1

1. Clean Project
2. Clean derived data

Wait for reindexing files

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

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

Answer 4

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.
