Sadly this did not fix my issue. After rebuilding spotlight, and doing all of these tricks, I cannot #import ” any of my own files in my project. Nothing autocompletes. Fun

thanks this seems to have fixed a CPU issue I was having where Xcode was constantly using 30% CPU even when hidden and in the background.

As for code completion: Do yourself a favor and code with AppCode. Not only is the code completion leaps and bounds better, it also has proper refactoring tools, automatic property generation etc etc. Saves huge amounts of time every day.

Thanks. That did the trick. Good thing too. Xcode is practically unusable without AutoComplete.

I find that it’s my spotlight index that is the root cause. To fix it, I run mdutil from the Terminal: “sudo mdutil -Ea”

This rebuilds the indexes for all volumes, and makes Xcode work properly again.

Nice to see a new fix that I hadn’t tried but sadly, this still didn’t work. All of my .mm files are completely broken while all of my .cpp files are just fine. I’ve juggled the Syntax Coloring under Editor on the menu bar from Objective-C++, to Objective-C, to Default for file type and back again without any change also. I’ve checked all of my import statements and can’t find a problem. Total bummer…
