Where'd my Xcode symbols go?

Question

Some time in the last hour some pretty weird things have been happening with Xcode. There are, apparently, no symbols in my project at all.

Quite the project...

Even alt-clicking on SDK elements (which would typically bring up the quick help side bar) does nothing. Documentation is downloaded.

A world without NSLogs...

Command clicking a class or other object typically sends you to the item's declaration. No such luck for me! All function, classes, methods and pretty much everything but keywords, strings and chars are showing up as plain text within Xcode.

Help me get my symbols back! I've cleaned, I've rebuilt, I've restarted and made sure all the Dwarf settings were right and what not.

Help find the lost symbols!

Answer 1

I haven't experienced your exact issue, but if this happened to me the first thing I'd try is to delete the project derived data using the button in the Organizer , Projects tab, and then restart XCode immediately. Hope this helps.
