Since updating to Xcode 16.1, the software crashes every time I try to load a .storyboard file in Interface Builder.
Has anyone encountered this issue or can offer assistance?
Xcode 16 crashing on .storyboard file
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Could you please clarify which software is crashing? Is it Xcode, the resulting app, iOS, or macOS?
Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can take:
- Recreate the Storyboard: If the issue is related to the storyboard, try recreating it to see if that resolves the problem.
- Check for Xcode Updates: Ensure you are using the latest version of Xcode. There might be a bug fix that addresses your issue.
If crash is on Xcode and the crashes persist, especially in Xcode 16.1, it would be helpful if you could file a bug report. Please include the crash file and the project that is causing the issue.
Once you open the bug report, please post the FB number here for my reference.

I have the same issue which make my unable to modify my existing app and release an update to app store. Recreate the storyboard file is nearly impossible because many old projects have a complicated storyboard file. Recreate the storyboard will cause a lot of time. Hope apple will aware this issue and fix it soon.
Same issue Here. Xcode is crashing after opening a storyboard file. Did you find a solution please ?
Hello, I had the same problem. In my case, custom fonts were the cause, and if I remember correctly, the Google Sign-In in CocoaPods as well.
I removed the custom fonts and installed Google Sign-In via SPM, and it worked.
If it's not the same issue for you, try removing folders one by one, then launch the project to see if the problem is resolved. This way, you can identify which file is causing the crash.
I managed to stop Xcode from crashing, but the storyboard displays with a bug (everything is blue, and I can’t see the storyboard elements). It’s better than nothing; at least I can still make changes.
Until a proper fix is available, if it can help someone, here are the steps I followed using the terminal:
defaults delete com.apple.dt.Xcode
rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/Xcode
rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.dt.Xcode
rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dt.Xcode.plist
rm -rf ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData
rm -rf ~/Library/Developer/Xcode
Alternatively, repeat the same steps and then uninstall Xcode and reinstall it.
This issue has been fixed in Xcode 16.2 update
The issue got fixed in Xcode 16.2. Just update.
