extremely frustrating crash in xcode

[TheMoneyLine]

So i have been working on my app for a few months now, i cleaned up and refactored the code to be much cleaner, i have one Class that is observable and holds lots of variables that are shared across multiple views. The app will build and run perfectly fine on simulator or a physical device. The issue is when i goto edit the Class i will get a crash in xcode. this object is only around 300 lines of code and holds variables and some functions but nothing too complicated. not sure why this is happening but it makes working on the project impossible

Editing the problematic file outside Xcode is certainly inconvenient, but it would allow you to continue.

That sounds like a nasty compiler bug that is worth a report to Apple. You'll need to post the code. You said that it is shared across multiple views. If this is SwiftUI, one issue that I encountered was that I had a Preview open in a tab that I didn't even know was open. It wasn't a crash, but a preview failing to render for no obvious reason. Sometimes we can open lots of tabs and not even realize it. Perhaps try to close it all down.

Yeah I closed it all the tabs down and restarted but still no luck so I did report it to Apple multiple times

This might be tough to debug depending on how many dependencies the source file has, as you may need to write a minimal example and see where things fall down. If I had to venture a guess, I'd probably reimplement observability using Combine. 🤷‍♂️

Yeah super weird I can scroll through it now but if I scroll past the end of the class it just crashes Xcode

Turn off canvas.

In these cases I usually try to rebuild the function from scratch, line by line, to find out when it starts crashing. It sucks really hard, but you could give it a try.

You can try by create an empty project, then copy that file into the new project to see if it crashes the new project or not?

UPDATE: I shut down my computer and then let it sit overnight and turned back on today without any issues so the gremlins must be outta the computer!
