iOS 9 Segue Causes App To Freeze (no crash or error thrown)

by

So basically the segue was freezing because of the UITextView‘s I was using in the destinationViewController. The following fixed the issue:

  • Delete all UITextView‘s
  • Add new UITextView’s
    • you must leave the default lorem imposed text and change this programmatically in the viewDidLoad()

This was the fix for me, and from the research I have done on the issue it seems this is a bug in iOS 9 and Xcode 7.

Cheers!

NOTE: Removing the text in the UITextView (or making it longer then ~12 characters) is sufficient to work around it, no need to delete and recreate them. This is fixed in Xcode 7.1.1 and later.
