I had a very similar problem on Xcode 10.1 and iOS 12.

This code worked:

class ExampleViewController: UIViewController {

    init() {
        super.init(nibName: "ExampleViewController", bundle: nil)
    }

}

But passing nil as nibName made it not load the XIB. When specifying the class name explicitly via @objc("ExampleViewController") this fixed it.

The problem was caused by the module name starting with the letters 'UI' (the project was called UIKitExample). When I renamed the target to something else, this fixed the problem.
