Interface Builder - Failed to load designables from path (null)

Question

I have some custom controls I have created and I'm them using in a new project. However, I keep getting errors in interface builder:

Failed to update auto layout status: Failed to load designables from path (null)

or

Failed to render instance of <control>: Failed to load designables from path (null)

I've tested out the controls in another project and they seem to render correctly in interface builder, but I cannot get them to work in the current project. What causes this error and how might I fix it?

Thanks in advance...

Answer 1

I had the same issue. I use cocoapods and there is a pod which uses designables. So the trick was to add 'use_frameworks!' to the Podfile. do a 'pod update' reopen the xcode project and the error message shouldn't show up.
