To delete all derived data and the module cache in /var/folders use this little ruby script.

derivedDataFolder = Dir.glob(Dir.home + "/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/*")
moduleCache = Dir.glob("/var/folders/**/com.apple.DeveloperTools*")
FileUtils.rm_rf derivedDataFolder + moduleCache

This just solved a fatal error: malformed or corrupted AST file: 'Unable to load module "/var/folders/ error for me.

You have to be careful about the xib file   I tried all the above and nothing worked for me   I was using custom UIButtons defined in the xib  and realized it might be related to the fact that I had assigned attributes there which were not changing programmatically   If you ve defined images or text there  remove them   When I did  my programmatic changes began to take effect

I have been pulling out hair from my head because I thought that I had the same problem  When building the app I didn t get the same result on my iPhone as on the simulator   The problem was that I had somehow made a localized version of the MainStoryboard storyboard file  So when I ran the app on  my phone it showed the danish version    and the simulator showed the english version   Yeah I m new

In addition to doing the following  you may experience this issue if your app s Storyboard s files are localized  First  do each of these    Clean Build Reset Simulator Restart Xcode Delete your DerivedData folder in   Library Developer Xcode DerivedData Restart Computer   What finally worked for me was re-generating the storyboard localization files and deleting the English localization  which was unneeded because the Base Locale is English   To reload your Storyboard strings  see this answer on StackOverflow    I had noticed that the non-text parts of my Storyboard were being updated  but not the localized text  If you have a localization in your app  I would recommend checking to make sure your localizations are updated  even if they re  strings files

Here s my shell script solution  which deletes derived data and cleans a project s cached assets  for Xcode 4  5 and 6   Sometimes  simply calling rm -rf on the Derived Data directory leaves a lingering file or two  but my script loops until all files are deleted

Command-Option-Shift-K to clean out the build folder  Even better  quit Xcode and clean out   Library Developer Xcode DerivedData manually  Remove all its contents because there s a bug where Xcode will run an old version of your project that s in there somewhere   Xcode 4 2 will show you the Derived Data folder  choose Window   Organizer and switch to the Projects tab  Click the right-arrow to the right of the Derived Data folder name    In the simulator  choose iOS Simulator   Reset Content and Settings   Finally  for completeness  you can delete the contents of  var folders  some caching happens there too   WARNING  Deleting  var folders can cause issues  and you may need to repair or reinstall your operating system after doing so   EDIT  I have just learned that if you are afraid to grapple with  var folders  you can use the following command in the Terminal to delete in a more targeted way   rm -rf    getconf DARWIN USER CACHE DIR  org llvm clang ModuleCache    EDIT  For certain Swift-related problems I have found it useful to delete   Library Caches com apple dt Xcode  You lose a lot when you do this  like your spare copies of the downloaded documentation doc sets  but it can be worth it

I had some problems with Xcode 5 1 crashing on me  when I opened the doc window   I am not sure of the cause of it  because I was also updating docsets  while I opened the window   Well  in Xcode 5 the modules directory now resides within the derived data folder  which I for obvious reasons didn t delete  I deleted the contents of   Library Developer Xcode DerivedData ModuleCache and the   Library Preferences com apple Xcode plist and everything then seems to work  after I restarted Xcode
