I started my project since xcode 4.4, and I have created several view controllers with interface builder (with xib files). Several days ago, I upgraded the xcode to version 4.5. Today, I suddenly found that I could modify view size anymore in interface builder. Is this an intended feature of xcode 4.5 or is it a bug of xcode 4.5?

I have been having the same problem and it's been driving me nuts.
Bizarrely, it seems to be caused by opening your project using the File > Open Recent Project menu in Xcode, or by using the Recent Documents list in the Xcode welcome screen.
If I double-click the project file in the Finder to open it or choose the project from the Recent Items menu in the Apple menu, Xcode's connection to Interface Builder is intact.
Does that help you?
You may have a bad connection in your xib.
I've had this error many times. While TechZen's answer is absolutely right in this case, another common cause is when you change the name of a IBOutlet property in your .h/.m which you've already connected up to File's Owner in the nib.
From your nib:
- Select the object in IB and go to the 'Connections Inspector'.
Under 'Referencing Outlets' make sure that your object isn't still connected to the old property name... if it is, click the small 'x' to delete the reference and build again.
Another common cause if you are using Storyboard, your UIButton might have more then one assignings (Solution is almost the same as for nib):
- Open your storyboard and right click the UIButton
You will see that there is more than one assign/ref to this button. Remove one of the "Main..." greyed windows with the small "x":

A view has a Size popup menu in its Simulated Metrics panel (in the Attributes inspector); set that to Freeform and the view becomes manually resizable.
