Just as an FYI, I don't suggest people try to do this downgrade. After converting from Xcode 8 to 7.x and opening in Xcode 7.3.1, my Storyboard is horribly corrupted...ahem...modified such that I will probably need to throw it out and start over. e.g. text is drawn blocky everywhere, weird flashing of table cell separators, strange table cell selection behavior, etc.

Do you not use version control?   Can�t you restore your project from an earlier version based upon the older Xcode?

I create a new branch before updating to a new version of Xcode and merge that branch once I know everything is OK.  If necessary I could restore to the state of things before trying the new Xcode.



Certainly I have version control, and these files are in source control. But they were created in Xcode 8 so there is nothing to go back to that will work with Xcode 7.

Seriously, try selecting the storyboard in Xcode 8 and then display the Inspector panel.  Press command option 1.  Look for Interface Builder Document.  Display the contents.  Select Opens in: Xcode 7.0

This is just a data versioning type.  It shouldn't care if you never opened it on Xcode 7 before.  

The issue I�m seeing is that the file that was created in Xcode 8, then changed to Xcode 7.x format, doesn�t seem to open correctly in Xcode 7.x.

That certainly bites.  If you have a previous version of the storyboard that does, diff the two files to see what the differences are.

Go to About Xcode > Open Developer Tool > FileMerge and drag one file into the left and another into the right and Compare away.

I've been going back and forth between Xcode 8 and 7 because of reality on iOS and I have not run in to your nasty problem.

I hope this helps.
