Status:Duplicate of 21753088 (Open) Resolved:20/07/2015
Product:Xcode Product Version:6.4 (6E35b)
Classification:Serious Bug Reproducible:Always
 
Summary:
Creating a project with a name such as "Parent & Child" makes the LaunchScreen.xib fail to build. Attempting to click on the LaunchScreen.xib or deleting and making a new one yields the same results. Xcode displays the attached error of "Line 20: xmlParseEntityRef: no name"

Opening the xib in a text editor and replacing the "&" with "&" fixes the issue.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setup a project and give it the name "Parent & Child"
2. Select launchscreen.xib
3. Observer error
4. Attempt to build and see failed build

Expected Results:
Project should build and LaunchScreen.xib should be editable

Actual Results:
Error is displayed and project will not build

Version:
Xcode Version 6.4 (6E35b)

Notes:


Configuration:
Occuring on Macbook Pro running Xcode 6.4
