Answer 1

I have Xcode 6.3 and saw similar issue. Finally few edits in .h file resolved my issue. If your interface has IBOutlet defined as

@interface NavigationViewController :UIViewController
{
  IBOutlet UILabel *lblName;
}

change this to and in .m file add @synthesize lblName;

@interface NavigationViewController :UIViewController
{
   __weak  UILabel *lblName;
}

@property (nonatomic, weak) IBOutlet UILabel *lblName;

I was having this same problem, with no view outlet available to link to. The only way I was able to fix it was to change the owner class of the XIB file to "UIViewController," make the link, and then change it back to my intended custom view controller class. The link stayed and all was well.

It seems typing the outlet first (swift):

@IBOutlet weak var someViewOutlet: UIView!

and then dragging from IB the outlet to the far right type in the above code works.

Restarting Xcode resolves the issue (sometimes). Using Xcode 6.1

Maybe I can help In my case the problem was that the viewController.swift file was not connected to the StoryBoard. The solution is to click in the Upper border of the view on the storyboard beside the 3 icons (View Controller, First Responder and Exit)...now look over in the Utility Area choose Identity Inspector, and in "Custom Class" choose the custom view controller.

Hope this helps. Xcode is hard!!
