XCode 9 crash on label localizer comment edition
ios, storyboard, xcode9
Solution
Even with a brand new empty project, it craches when editing Comment For Localizer. It is an Xcode 9 issue.
As a workaround you can edit the `.storyboard` file manually by adding this kind of block (directly inside your `<label>` block for example):
<attributedString key="userComments">
<fragment content="Here goes your comment...">
<attributes>
<font key="NSFont" metaFont="smallSystem"/>
<paragraphStyle key="NSParagraphStyle" alignment="natural" lineBreakMode="wordWrapping" baseWritingDirection="natural" tighteningFactorForTruncation="0.0"/>
</attributes>
</fragment>
</attributedString>
Problem
Context : Xcode 9.0 (9A235) When I try to edit my storyboard label's note for localizers (inserting Barty Crouch tag `#bc-ignore!`), XCode 9 crashes. Also, trying to edit the font does nothing. Seems like a corrupted storyboard to me, certainly after a merge. Does anyone face the same issue ? EDIT, non-ambiguous question : Is there a fix to avoid the crash or do I have to edit the storyboard by hand? ``` Process: Xcode [66619] Path: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/MacOS/Xcode Identifier: com.apple.dt.Xcode Version: 9.0 (13247) Build Info: IDEFrameworks-13247000000000000~26 App Item ID: 497799835 App External ID: 823595305 Code Type: X86-64 (Native) Parent Process: ???
