Known issues in Xcode 4 Developer Preview 2

Xcode 4 Developer Preview is pre-release software. File bugs at http://bugreport.apple.com for performance and stability issues, data loss or file corruption, missing or unimplemented features, behavioral or aesthetic issues, and feature and enhancement requests. Provide as much context as possible, especially crash logs or samples, detailed Steps to Reproduce, and projects or workspaces when possible.

These problems are already known in this release:

Installer packages visible on Xcode 4 Developer Preview 2 disk image (8209023)

When mounting the Xcode 4 Developer Preview 2 disk image, a Packages folder is visible. Installing packages from within this folder is not supported. Use the Xcode and iOS SDK package to install Xcode 4 Developer Preview 2.

The Repositories organizer does not support SCP-style URLs when configuring Git repositories. Use the ssh:// style of URL to refer to a repository you wish to clone.

Documentation viewed in the organizer may be missing its table of contents or its contents are not navigable via the Jump Bar.

Workaround: Download the latest documentation, go to the Documentation preferences and click Check and Install Now.

Crash when making connections using connections HUD (8197402)

Effects attributes of objects in IB editor (7470883)

Properties modified using the Effects inspector in Interface Builder 3 are not editable in Xcode 4.

Attributes on objects in IB documents require size-to-fit (7600085)

Some changes to attributes of objects in IB files require that the object is properly sized-to-fit after making the change, but these objects do not automatically size-to-fit.

Workaround: Select the control in the design canvas and choose Editor > Size to Fit.

Outlet collections for connect to source code from IB documents (8045078)

When making connections to source code in Interface Builder documents, connecting to outlet collections is not supported.

Connect to source code from IB documents does not insert counterparts (8082047)

Workaround: Reset the file type for the selected file in the "Type and Identity" file inspector's "File Type" pop up button to "Default," then close and re-open the document.

Editing IB documents with objects from plugins (7470836)

Xcode 4 supports iOS-type IB documents and OS X-type IB documents composed of App Kit objects. OS X-type documents composed of objects from other frameworks, such as Address Book, Automator, and 3rd party IB plugins, are not supported in the IB editor. Although these documents cannot be edited with the IB editor, they can be compiled, built, and run.

Warnings when building after editing a IB document (8131479)

If you edit an IB document and then build a project, warnings may appear for the IB document. Most likely, these warnings are false-positives.

Workaround: Make sure the project has finished indexing before saving IB documents to avoid these warnings. Re-save any files that have warnings after the project has finished indexing to remove the warnings.
