Xcode xib editor not loading

Running Xcode 13.2.1 in Monterey 12.2.1

I have an Objective-C project where Xcode will suddenly not open an editor for the xib files. If I double click them in the finder with the project NOT open, they open in the editor. The project file also only opens as text.

Other Swift projects are fine.

The app will still build and run but I cannot make interface changes!

Previous suggestions about copying xib files etc have not helped. Restart and reboots have also not helped.

Suggestions appreciated!

I finally found a solution to this over in apple developer discussions from 4 years ago!

The solution was to open the xib file in an assistant editor. Once one is opened correctly, all the subsequent xib files open correctly.
