Xamarin-macios: [XCode 11] Unable to edit Xib outlets inside XCode 11
Steps to Reproduce
- Open a .Xib file for editing in XCode 11
- Click icon in top-right to show .h/.m files for editing outlets
Reproduced by Xamarin Team @rolfbjarne with XCode 11 Beta 5 as part of #6740
I can still reproduce this on XCode 11 Beta 6.
Expected Behavior
A side-by-side view of Xib and .h/.m file would appear. I can then drag controls to create outlets.
Actual Behavior
Xcode throws up a warning. I see no .h/.m and instead get a copy of the raw XML of my xib file.

@rolfbjarne is there any workaround?

@artur-malendowicz-gain not as far as I know (except using the iOS Designer in Visual Studio for Mac instead).

You can open another editor pane in XCode and navigate to the header file for a xib to attach outlets.
XCode is a little buggy with this and VSMac doesn't always pickup the changes but we've been getting by using that.

I was having the same problem and I've found a workaround: go to Editor > Assistant and it should show the desired layout (two columns, one with the xib and the other with the .m/.h file). I've been able to create outlets again.
