Xcode 7.1
Server v 5.0.10
Mac OS 10.11
If any of you recall, I had an odd and intermittent error on our super slow Xcode build server where build errors would happen when trying to build xibs.
The "Interface Builder Cocoa Touch Tool" times out trying to launch and this generates a build error.
Now, I added another project to our build server and guess what, this same issue is happening intermittently again.
What I'm pretty sure of is that this is an artifact of that fact that I am using a Mac mini that I had lying around with 4 GB or RAM. (It's the base model.) What I see often on the device when I use it is the older spinning blue pinwheel that appears over the spinning technicolor pinwheel of death.
At this point, since this is El Capitan and V10.11 of the Mac OS, I am assuming that memory is being shifted and compressed.
I'm pretty sure that this new memory compression is causing this. So, two questions
1. Memory compression in Mac OS. Can this be turned off? Actually, it's also causing massive performance problems on my 16 GB iMac as well but I'm not seeing the spinning technicolor pinwheel of death, just terrible performance ever since I upgraded on multiple systems.
2. Is there a timeout parameter that can be changed in a settings file that says how long the Interface Builder Cocoa Touch Tool has to launch or whatever tool (launchd?) that launches it has to wait until a process times out when launching?
This is a simple timeout issue that breaks our builds on a regular and intermittent basis
It would be nice to have a build server that works reliably and sadly, a studlier machine is not in our budget at the moment.
Thanks in advance,
Alex Zavatone
