Xcode 6.3 woes
Xcode 6.3 woes
This is a note to myself, but it may be of help to you.
I downloaded Xcode 6.3 final and also installed OS X 10.3.3. No problems with the installation.
The next day, I fired up Xcode and it froze. The spinning beachball of misery. It happened repeatedly. I had to force quit.
What to do?
How I did it
The first thing I did was to delete the derived data directories in
~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData. That didn’t fix it.
So, how to open Xcode and have it not reopen any projects that it had open?
It seems there are a few ways.
If Xcode is in your dock, you can option-shift click on it and it won’t open any projects.
Or, you can get rid of all your autosave info like this.
|
1 2 |
yes | rm -r ~/Library/Autosave\ Information/ yes | rm -r ~/Library/Saved\ Application\ State/com.apple.dt.Xcode.savedState |
Finally, you can open Xcode from the command line with this incantation.
|
1 |
open -a /Applications/Xcode.app --args -ApplePersistenceIgnoreState YES |
Summary
Open Xcode without opening any projects. That might fix the problem.
So far so good. I can get back to work now.
Your rm statements are missing backslashes to escape the blanks. Here again for easier copy & paste:
yes | rm -r ~/Library/Autosave\ Information/
yes | rm -r ~/Library/Saved\ Application\ State/com.apple.dt.Xcode.savedState
Thanks Peter. I didn’t notice that WP ate the slashes.
@ Peter i had the same issue i followed your steps but my problem remains same
Option-shift-clicking fixed the beachballing for me. Thanks for the tip! I have added your blog to my RSS reader.
