I have the same problem.  The solution is simple but annoying:  Right-click the
editor, choose Substitutions, and uncheck Smart Quotes.  The annoying thing is
that you must do it every single time you open a file; the setting does not
stick across launches of the app, or even from one window to the next.

This should be the default for all editor windows, and would fix the problem for
everyone.  It's got to be a simple fix of just flipping a boolean flag on the
standard editor widget in Xcode, I suspect.  Thanks for paying attention to it!
