故事板不包含标识符为“MainWindow”的控制器

Question

I am trying to instantiate an NSWindowController from a storyboard in my OS X app:

NSWindowController *mainWindowController = [[NSStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"Main" bundle:nil] instantiateControllerWithIdentifier:@"MainWindow"];

But this is what I'm getting:

Storyboard (<NSStoryboard: 0x618000008500>) doesn't contain a controller with identifier 'MainWindow' .

But in the storyboard:

It is set. No, there are no other storyboards. Yes, I've tried cleaning the project and the build folder, but nothing changes.

Why would I get this error?

UPDATE: I am building my app, coming back to the storyboard, and I see that Storyboard ID is unset:

How can Storyboard ID get unset by itself?

Answer 1

It was definitely a bug with Xcode. Restarting Xcode solved the problem.

Answer 2

Confirmed in 11.3. This is such a time-waster, together with this one:
