TLDR: Xcode was crashing after building successfully but before running. Deleting my User Prefs fixed my error, but I’ve listed the steps I tried, and some other best practice options below.
My problem was this: Xcode 8 beta 2 arrived, and I went merrily on my way playing with all the great stuff we learned about at WWDC.
However, everytime I tried to build and run in the new Xcode beta 2 (and later in beta 3) I would get a successful build and then the whole program would crash without opening the simulator or deploying to a device.
I talked to a lot of people in my knowledge network, and did all sorts of searching on the error I was getting:
“Exception Type: EXC_CRASH (SIGABRT)
Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000
Exception Note: EXC_CORPSE_NOTIFYApplication Specific Information:
ProductBuildVersion: 8S162m
_ASSERTION FAILURE_ in /Library/Caches/com.apple.xbs/Sources/IDESpriteKitSupport/IDESpriteKitSupport-11049/Foundation/Classes/Document/SKEditorDocument.m:201”
This was strange, because the app I was working on was not using SpriteKit at all. It was from a tutorial from Paul Hudson from his new Practical iOS 10 book. (which is great so far, fyi)
To test that it wasn’t something I’d done in the project, I made a new blank one, cleverly named ‘dontcrash’, and tried to build and run it. Xcode crashed again.
I actually ended up with several blank apps: dontcrash2, dontcrash3 dontcrashXcodebeta3 and finally- CrashyApp, before I hit on the solution.
Basic Options for Xcode Crashes
Advanced options (I didn’t get this far)
Right click to unlock node or select locked nodes.
Fixed a lot of auto layout issues, added a true type font to the app bundleStruggled with the scene builder quite a bit. it lacks precision tools, so I’m trying continue to create things in Tiled.
Started to add SKTileMap to my project, which will read both the objects/boundaries i place in Tiled, but also send the graphic information in the JSON export.
Ah, end of semester is drawing near, and I’ve got a conference and an apartment relocation going on all in the last 2 weeks! eek! ok. Full speed ahead on this.
I copied the todo list from the previous log, and have crossed things out that I’m just don’t have time for now.
This with an X mean I’ve started and/or finished an item. Today’s work specifically meant struggling with Xcode and auto-layout.
Designers have sent me some UI assets, still waiting on level pieces for the actual maze. Working with what I have lying around.
it’s progress, right?
