Xcode 9.2 stops compiling for < 11.0 target when using named colors

I know that named colors are supported from 11.0 but our project targets iOS 9.0 and we were able to successfully compile it using Xcode 9.0 / 9.1 because named colors were used only in storyboard and not in runtime.

After switching to Xcode 9.2 the project does not compile:

named colors do not work prior to iOS 11.0

Now ctrl+F and paste . 

color key=(.*) name=.*

and now replace find source with this line

<color key=$1 red="1" green="1" blue="1" alpha="1" colorSpace="custom" customColorSpace="sRGB"/>

//MARK:- OR Paste your key in key 

(<color key="your key")

It's a newer feature so they might have stopped supporting it inside storyboard for earlier versions than iOS 11, although you can use it in code by putting iOS 11 check and it works fine. 

if #available(iOS 11.0, *) {
   view.backgroundColor = UIColor(named:"CustomColor")
} else {
   // Fallback on earlier versions
   view.backgroundColor = .white
}
