Layout issues after updating to Xcode 8


I had a similar problem with tableview images not appearing once I converted the storyboard file to be Xcode8 compatible. This looks like a bug with Xcode8, so until a bug fix is released, here is a work around:

  1. Open your storyboard in Xcode 8 and choose an initial device view. Make changes as you normally would.
  2. Once you have completed your changes, select the storyboard -> File Inspector -> Opens in -> Select 'Xcode 7.x'.

  1. Select 'Save and Close' when prompted
  2. Your storyboard changes will be saved, and your storyboard will function as it did pre-Xcode8.

When you need to make other changes to the storyboard file, follow these steps again.


XIB or Storyboard set default as older version 7.x and Save and Close. Temporary solution, but works. Don't open again once you have done Save and Close. Otherwise again need follow same steps from begin.enter image description here


Eh the same problem. I partially managed to fix it in the following way (for Xcode Version 8.1 (8B62))

In the document outline of Storyboard, I clicked on each scene which had the yellow arrow indicating some layout issues (Number 1 on the screenshot)

After this, for each problematic scene, I had to click on "Update Frames" small icon (Number 2 on the screenshot) which fixed all the layout issues per scene.

However one scene in my case was still in crying state after transition from Xcode7 to Xcode8. I had to fix it manually by adjusting constraints or adding missing constraints.

Phew, not nice surprise of XCode8 and Storyboards. If you used AppCode editor, you won't have such problem, since it doesn't support Storyboards ;P

Good luck!
