Bug 1: I'm renaming a Swift class or struct. I chose to rename the file, too. Xcode renames the file in the project navigator, but apparently it does not rename the file on the file system. As a result, the file is no longer accessible from Xcode (its name is colored in red in the navigator).

Bug 2: I'm trying to rename a Swift enum. Xcode refuses with error: rename failed at <FileName>.swift:<lineNumber>:<columnNumber>

Bug 3: I'm Option+clicking on a Swift var of a custom type. Xcode pops up the dialog specifying the var's type. I'm clicking on the type, hoping I will be taken to the custom type's declaration. Instead, Xcode opens the documentation window and hangs (has to be force quit and reopened).

Now, I've been using Xcode for nearly 7 years, developing iOS apps. I don't think Xcode 8 or 9 are getting any better in terms of navigation, reliability, usefulness. 3 bugs and one restart for 5 minutes, are you joking with your developers, Apple?

Could you precisely describe your configuration : version of XCode (9.1 beta, final ?), OS version - IOS, OSX other app ?

Here is with XCode 9.2ß (9C34b) - system 10.13.2 - IOS App

1. I did the test renaming the file in project navigator. Checked in the build, it was automatically updated here as well. And compiles fine

Did you build clean after the changes ?

2. How do you the enum ? With Refactor or directly in code ?

3. To go to custom type declaration, use cmd-click ; you'll get a jump option to go to the declaration.
