Answer 1

I had similar issue.

Below are steps to resolve it:

1. Navigate to folder where your projectName.xcodeproj.

2. Right click and select 'Show Package Contents'. You will be able to see list of files with .pbxproj extension.

3. Select project.pbxproj. Right click and open this file using 'Text Edit'.

4. You will be able to see <<<<<< .mine , ============ and >>>>>>>>>> .r123. These are generally conflicts that arise when you take update from SVN. Delete these and save file.

5. Now, you'll be able to open project without any error message.
