XCode 7.1 beta hanging/slow with tvOS storyboards

I'm having severe issues using tvOS storyboards with XCode 7.1 beta. I've tested this with a brand new project and I can essentially cause 100% hangs by dragging a viewcontroller into the storyboard. As soon as the view controller icon is dragged over the line to the storyboard, XCode hangs. The weird thing is that this only happens on my iMac - everything appears to work ok on my laptop. I thought this was because the laptop was using El Capitan, but after upgrading my desktop, the problem remains so clearly that's unrelated.


In addition to frequent hangs, doing other things results in crazy slowdowns (such as moving a view to its parent view).


I've tried with a different account (brand new one) and the problem persists. I'm installing the GM Candidate (which I thought I had downloaded, but didn't - ah well), to see if that improves things.


Is anyone else seeing this issue? I swear everything worked fine until I started trying to add additional view controllers.

Upgrading to GM didn't help. I recorded a little video that shows the behavior (one of many things that makes it lock up);

Yep, seeing the same thing. Just opening a storyboard causes a hang.

Please file a bug at bugreporter.apple.com, and include the video and any reproduction steps you can offer.

Can you file a bugreport at developer.apple.com under the Developer Tools section, and include a sysdiagnose?

Also, did you by chance rename your Xcode-beta.app to something else?

I'm attaching a sysdiagnose to my ticket. As for renaming it, I didn't at least. I initially installed it in a subdirectory of /Applications and the moved it into /Applications.

I found a work-around is to avoid dragging onto the storyboard and instead drag around the perimeter of the board and drop the view onto the StoryBoard Document Outline. It's easier if you expose the debug console portion of the window.


NOTE: The cursor cannot touch the storyboard at all or the hang will start.


It's not pretty, but it works.

I returned to the previous version. sad but work.
