Applewatch: segue crashing app in Xcode 14.2

Question

I build an AppleWatch standalone app some months ago. I worked fine, but after running Xcode 14.2 segues don't work anymore. It crashes the app.

See the video with Xcode and the simulator showing the problem: https://youtu.be/LlgnZ68JUe8

I removed the segues. Added them again. Same result.

Does anyone have the same experience and knows how to work around this?

This is the crash log:

I dived deeper into the problem and found out that a target is partly missing". In the attached video I compare an old backup of my project before opening it in Xcode 14.x and the one after importing it some months ago: https://youtu.be/FoevyCoyayg

How did this happen? And how can I fix this?

Answer 1

After upgrading to Xcode 14.2 Xcode asked to update the project for the new version of Xcode. The radioNEDWatchOS WatchKit Extension target/module disappeared, but both UIViewControllers that crashed were still in the radioNEDWatchOS WatchKit Extension target/module.

I changed the module to radioNED and everything works fine now.
