Can't Open XIB in Xcode

I get this message from Xcode when I try to edit the xib for one of my apps.

_The document "ViewController_iPhone.xib" could not be opened. This version of Xcode does no support Auto Layout for iOS documents. Edit this document with a newer version of Xcode.

I have Xcode version "4.4"

Simple Solution:

  1. Right click on .xib file -> open as "Source Code".

  2. Find & delete object (some int/Hex) from xib source code.

  3. Save File.

  4. Again right click & open xib as "Interface Builder".

It will open your corrupt .xib file & u will not loss whole update in project.

You may have this problem if the XIB file was originally created in Xcode version 4.5+ (current preview version as of now is 4.5). Auto Layout is a new feature that wasn't supported previously with older versions of Xcode.

Go to the developer portal and download 4.5 Preview Xcode and try that out.
