I was working on my project but don't know what happened. It just started showing building process over and over again without any press of button. See image for reference:

enter image description here

The problem with it is that my code goes grey and no suggestions come up!

I tried closing it and opening again and restarted my system but none of those worked.

it starts doing it after i first build it, then it goes on and on it shows the following processes : Image

EDIT:

I also re-installed it, didn't worked even after new installation

Here is what I would try:

  1. Clean your project: cmd+shift+k

  2. Clean your build folder: cmd+option+shift+k

  3. Delete the derived data*:

    sudo rm -R ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData

  4. Delete Xcode caches*:

    sudo rm -R ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.dt.Xcode

Restart Xcode and build you project.

*Run this in Terminal

  • @GurjotKalsi Did you try the suggestions in the [link posted below your question](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28476030/xcode-keeps-building-storyboard-after-each-keystroke)? The answer to that question linked to might solve your problem. – Caleb Kleveter Jan 20 '17 at 13:17
  • yes i did, the trick to stop reloading the view from IB is good, but not effective. My xcode give stupid suggestions, when i start writing a string it suggests when i write a function or method or any other thing it dont , just give me image names. – Gurjot Kalsi Jan 20 '17 at 19:39

It's just a wild guess, but Xcode will try to build your product (or parts of it) if you have classes that are tagged desingable (IB_DESIGNABLE in Obj-C, @IBDesignable in Swift). These classes can be drawn in Interface Builder, just like UI classes from Apple (e.g. just like UIButton is drawn there for real) but therefor Xcode needs to build them first, together with all their dependencies (every other UI or data class they might be using). And any time you alter the class or any of its dependent classes, Xcode will try to rebuild it.
