I have never encountered this problem before. The application used to run perfectly but now it always says this error. I have tried cleaning and rebooting. I have tried resetting IOS Simulator. I have tried deleting derived data.

This is what it says: 

CompileStoryboard YoungstersTennisApp/Base.lproj/Main_iPhone.storyboard
cd /Users/DJ/Desktop/YoungstersTennisApp
setenv IBSC_MINIMUM_COMPATIBILITY_VERSION 6.0
setenv PATH "/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/usr/bin:/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin"
setenv XCODE_DEVELOPER_USR_PATH /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/..
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/usr/bin/ibtool --errors --warnings --notices --minimum-deployment-target 6.0 --output-format human-readable-text --compile /Users/DJ/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/YoungstersTennisApp-ftehnuqeslbyekfiszajlixujbqk/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/YoungstersTennisApp.app/Base.lproj/Main_iPhone.storyboardc /Users/DJ/Desktop/YoungstersTennisApp/YoungstersTennisApp/Base.lproj/Main_iPhone.storyboard

Command /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/usr/bin/ibtool failed with exit code 255

Any help for this would be great. I also have quite a large storyboard. Does that matter?

Thanks in advance!

I had the same issue with XCode 6 and iOS 8.

Just a XIB was giving me errors when I tried to compile.

I've tried to clean the project and the problem persisted.

Then I've opened the view that was giving me problems, I've saved again (WITHOUT CHANGING ANYTHING AT ALL) and... voila! My app up and running. XCode is satanic :)
