Xcode 6: Build hangs and Interface Builder Cocoa Touch Tool starts allocating all RAM

Question

I’m having an issue to which I haven’t been able to find a solution just by searching here or on Google.

I’m building a project which is shared by multiple developer

Answer 1

I too have been having issues with storyboards causing freezes with XCode 6.0.1 on OS X 10.9.5.
I can't even start Xcode because it tries to re-open the storyboard.

Here's what I do to recover (until it happens again)

IMPORTANT: make sure you back up your storyboard file in case you accidentally delete it

1. Completely close Xcode
2. From a Terminal (or Finder): MOVE your storyboard file to a safe location
3. Restart XCode and open your workspace or project
4. In Xcode: remove the missing storyboard file from the project
5. From a Terminal (or Finder): COPY your storyboard back to its original location
6. Import the storyboard to Xcode (Add File or drag-drop from Finder)

At this point everything "usually" works for me: open the storyboard, build, run... I can keep working with the storyboard until the next time I re-open the project. Then it happens again and I have to repeat the same steps.
