This error looks like to be an Xcode bug, as I cannot recall having merge issues with my storyboard. It can be fixed by editing the storyboard's source code. Here's how you can do it:

  • Right click on your storyboard in the Project navigator and select Open As/Source Code.

Open As/Source Code

  • Search for the following term in the file by pressing Cmd+F:

    <systemColor name="groupTableViewBackgroundColor">

  • Delete all instances. I've had 5 color instances named groupTableViewBackgroundColor for some reason. Since storyboards are XML-based, the definitions end with </systemColor>:

    <systemColor name="groupTableViewBackgroundColor">    <color red="0.94901960784313721" green="0.94901960784313721" blue="0.96862745098039216" alpha="1" colorSpace="custom" customColorSpace="sRGB"/></systemColor>
  • Right click again on the file, select Open As/Interface Builder - Storyboard and the error should go away.

If the error still persists, delete and re-add the storyboard file.
