A few of my view controllers were missing the storyboardIdentifier attribute.

Before:

<viewController
    id="pka-il-u5E"
    customClass="YourViewControllerName"
    customModule="ModuleName"
    customModuleProvider="target"
    sceneMemberID="viewController">

After:

<viewController
    storyboardIdentifier="YourViewControllerName"   <----
    id="pka-il-u5E"
    customClass="YourViewControllerName"
    customModule="ModuleName"
    customModuleProvider="target"
    sceneMemberID="viewController">

Note  If you use cocoapods in your project  then first run pod deintegrate and rm Podfile lock  Then open your project folder in any third party code editor like VSCode and do a global search for the ViewController name throwing the error    Rename fix any wrong names which you find  Save all changes  Clean and build your project    Everything should work fine now   This is most often caused when you rename files from within Xcode

let storyboard   UIStoryboard name   StoryboardFileName   bundle  nil  let controller   storyboard instantiateViewController withIdentifier   StoryboardID   self present controller  animated  true  completion  nil    Note     StoryboardFileName  is the filename of the Storyboard and not the ID of the storyboard   StoryboardID  is the ID you have manually set in the identity inspector for that storyboard  see screenshot below        Sometimes people believe that the first one is the Storyboard ID and the second one the View Controller class name  so note the difference

Just had this issue after adding a new VC to the storyboard but only on the device  not on the simulator   Turns out it was due to having multiple storyboard localizations - the VC was only added to the primary one   I tried removing the other localizations  one of which is the one my iPhone uses  but still had the error   In the end I had to recreate the other localizations with the new VC in each of them

Fixed  Not only the identifier in the segue must be set  in my case DrivingDetails  but also the identifier in my tableViewController must be set as DrivingDetails   check my picture     I also removed the navigation view controller so now the 2 table view controllers are connected directly with a  push  animation        EDIT for XCODE 7 0       you have to set the storyboardId in this case the viewController is embedded in a Navigation controller   let lastMinVc    mainStoryBoard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier  lastMinuteNavController   as  UINavigationController

Just for future reference   I m developing on iOS 6 using Storyboards   I was having the same issue  but I could not find the  Identifier  field in the inspector  Instead  just set the field named  Storyboard ID  to what you would name the Identifier  This field can be found under the  Show the Identity inspector  tab in the inspector    Note - comments below indicate that some people have found that they need to  also   set the field  Restoration ID  just below the Storyboard ID in the inspector  Clicking on  Use Storyboard ID  does not seem to be enough    There s an image below for reference   in this instance I ve named my identifier the same as my class
