When I open any of the nib files in my Xcode project, IB opens the
nib file successfully and the Xcode project status in the lower
left of the document window shows the Xcode project file name and
a green dot. Within a few seconds, the green dot always turns
yellow. I'm guessing that this is meant to warn me or indicate in
some way that IB is not entirely happy with the state of the nib
file, although I have not encountered any negative effects that I
have noticed (can modify, save, build and run using these nib
files with no apparent problems). Searching the IB User Guide,
exploring the IB interface a bit and performing several Google
queries has failed to shed any light on how to determine the
meaning or specific cause of this yellow status. Any pointers or
tips?
Xcode and IB 3.1.2, Intel Mac (Mac Pro), 10.5.6. The project and
nib files originated back in earlier versions of Xcode and IB
(back to the ProjectBuilder days) and have been maintained/
migrated through several versions of Xcode (1.x, 2.x, and now 3.x).
The colored status gem indicates Xcode project syncing status.
Interface Builder syncs with Xcode to obtain information about the
classes in your project. The gem pulses green while a sync is in
progress, and turns yellow if it encounters a problem, such as the
inability to parse one of the headers in your project.
A tooltip with details about the problem should appear if you hover
your mouse pointer over the project name.
Thanks for the help. Turns out that I had two classes in my project
with the same name (different superclasses), each used in a separate
application target, which caused the confusion for IB. Renaming one
of the classes clears up the problem.
Did I miss where this IB feature (the colored status gem, the
meaning of its various states, and using the tooltip to obtain more
detailed info) is documented (entirely possible)?
Hey Michael,
I'm glad you've got the issue resolved. The documentation we have that
discusses Xcode syncing is available at:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/DeveloperTools/Conceptual/IB_UserGuide/CodeIntegration/CodeIntegration.html
Thanks,
Joey
