IB doesn't detect wrong IBOutlet type
Lets say I connect an weak var myView: UIImageView! outlet to an UIImageView instance in my XIB or Storyboard. Later I change the view class in IB to UIView. The outlet will still be connected without giving a warning or compile time error.
Can I somehow automatically detect such errors?

UIView is parent class of UIImageView, so you can connect UIImageView with UIView but you can't connect a UIView to UIImageView. So technically, it is not an error.
