Actually if you have some old user defined attributes (which is not valid for current view) at any view in your storyboard, that may cause your agent to crash.

Besides, sometimes it happens just because of a nasty bug of Xcode. To check it out, when you're at storyboard uncheck Editor > Automatically Refresh Views, then move to another file, clean and restart your project. After you entered storyboard again, you can click Editor > Refresh Views and check automatic one again. That one also solved my problem once.

If both didn't work, then probably you have done something wrong about your IBDesignable view, so choose your crashed views in storyboard and debug by clicking Editor > Debug Views
