Answer 1

I solved it by setting the 'module' for 'Custom class' in Identity inspector

Answer 2

The error you are getting is because you had an IBOutlet on your storyboard that doesn't exist any more on the class where it was defined, this can be because you manually changed the name of a property on your class or deleted it.

On your storyboard, select the initial view controller and check if there is a reference to an IBOutlet named TextOutput. Delete that reference and link the View again. That should fix it

Answer 3

There is two ways to change the name of ViewController:

1) Ex.: class LoginViewController: UIViewController - just select the "LoginViewController", then right click -> Refactor -> Rename

This will change the name file name, class name and take care of the storyboard class name.

2) If you not able to use Method 1, then manually rename the file Name(.swift), then you have to go to the storyboard and replace the class name of the view controller. You may have issues with the outlets.

3) After that close the Xcode and then again start your project.

Answer 4

You have a textField or textView Or UILabel in your controller in storyboard,

1- Open your Storyboard

2- click the UIViewController(ViewController with new name of class you have changed)

3- remove outlet with name TextOutput

4- ReConnet if you want and you are ready to go
