Storyboard file won't update visually

Whenever I change somehting in a .storyboard file it won't update visually.

Examples:

  • If I change a constraints constant value it doens't update (and it doesn't turn yellow or red or anything)

  • If I delete a view it looks like it's still there although I can't select it anymore

  • If I move a UILabel it looks like it didn't move, but I can only select it again in the position I moved it to

If I restart Xcode then the UI is updated. I've tried the latest Xcode version and the 11.5 Beta version too. I've tried rebooting the computer, cleaned build folders, derived data and reinstalling the command line tools.

Any ideas?

UPDATE: I realized that only ONE view controller is bugged, all the others update normally.

Solution

  • The reason for the issue was that my Podfile was missing use_frameworks!. Adding that like and running pod update fixed the issue!
