Storyboard assistant editor for a ViewController opens <projectName>-Swift.h instead of <viewController>.swift

Question

I have a programmatic swift project that I'm converting to Storyboards. A particular interaction is grinding my gears.

When I click on a view controller MyViewController in a storyboard, the assistant editor opens up myProjectName-swift.h instead MyViewController.swift

I know I can click on the nav bar of the assistant editor and select my VC from the automatic drop down list but this is just adding more actions every time I switch VCs in storyboard.

Answer 1

That -Swift.h file was generated by swift 2.2 and lives in the derived data folder.

After clearing derived data the problem seems to have resolved itself

Answer 2

When you set you class to match your view controller, usually the assistant editor will open the right file.

This is how to select the class:

• Select your view controller in storyboard
• Open the identity inspector

• Select the class from the list
