StoryBoard Preview Gone

Xcode 13.4.1

Last Week

Reviewed my applications UI last week in Xcode: everything was fine.

This Week

Opened it this morning, and my Storyboards (xib files) no longer display content. Directly under the file path view, there is the following: An internal error occurred. Editing functionality may be limited. Report a Bug

What I've Tired

  • Cleaning the build folder, no change.
  • Quit Application, ReOpened, no change.
  • Quit Application, Deleted "Derived Data" folder, ReOpened, no change.
  • Clicked "Report a Bug" application was unresponsive, had to force quit, no change.

Nothing Changed

I've not made any code changes in over a week. Completely perplexed to see this behavior. The following shows the Xcode window and how StoryBoards are appearing. I'm not panicking, yet. That will come next week when I begin to make updates.

Two Days Later

And two days later, with no apparent changes to anything (nothing, zip, nada, etc.), the Previews returned.

Not to sound too flippant, but Xcode can be downright, peculiar when it's in the mood.

What Do I Do Know?

Should I leave the issue open? I mean, the why and/or how come hasn't been answered. Doesn't make a lot of sense. Heck, it's not even predictably half-cracked. Makes me question whether I'm going crackers, being gaslighted or missing a memo.
