How to fix ibtool failed with Main.storyboard error: shouldBeArchived unrecognized

Question

I have never encountered this problem before. The application used to run perfectly but now it always says this error. I have tried cleaning and rebooting. I have tried resetting IOS Simulator. I have tried deleting derived data.

This is what xcode build it says:

CompileStoryboard AITEST/Base.lproj/Main.storyboard

run system:

1 : OS X EL Capitan version, 10.11

2 : XCode Version 6.1 (6A1052c)

3 : command tools version 6.1

Any help for this would be great. I also have quite a large storyboard. Does that matter?

Thanks in advance!

Other Reault:

1. if checked stroyboard's UIViewController's autoLayout to off, will build Success.

2. if use UITableViewController in storyboard use autolayout to on, will build Success.

here ibtool version:

tinkl:~ tinkl$ ibtool --version

bundle-version 1878 short-bundle-version 6.1

Answer 1

This issue was resolved for me after updating my Xcode version.

I ran into this issue after working on a project on in an older version of Xcode and upgrading to El Capitan without then upgrading Xcode.

After upgrading Xcode again, it worked.

Answer 2

I couldn't get this to work either but what I did was symlink to a newer version of Xcode. I linked 6.3.2 to 6.2.0. I am not sure of the implications of doing this.

ln -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/usr/bin/ibtool /Applications/Xcode_6.2.0.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/usr/bin/ibtool
