Xcode 13 quick help window not launch on custom objects

Ever since I downloaded Xcode 13 I have been unable to see the quick help window (option click) for objects/functions/variables I have created.

I can see the quick help window for other swift frameworks (option clicking tableView works, for example). Just not for my own.

I have tried

  • running this in command line:
$ defaults delete com.apple.dt.Xcode WebKitJavaScriptEnabled
  • deleting this:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.dt.Xcode
  • running this:
$ defaults delete com.apple.dt.Xcode IDEIndexDisable

This is what I see when I run:

$ cd ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DocumentationCache/
$ ls -al
total 0

drwxr-xr-x   3 myname  staff   96 Sep 21 13:13 v202

Anyone know of any fixes?

Solution

  • A restart of the machine solved the issue for me. Xcode then installed components and built the quick help for Apple's documentation and the documentation in my own code.
