So, it's a simple question. When i try to open Xcode via macOS Dock, there is a dot bottom of the app icon, but it isn't opening any windows. So I have to open the window by clicking File > Open...
If it isn't normal, then please tell me how to fix it.
I have never seen or had this issue, but I did find this source: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3854586
"In Xcode 4 choose Window > Welcome (or command - shift - 1) to Xcode to open the welcome window that gives you an option to create a new Xcode project. Select the Show this window when Xcode launches checkbox to have the welcome window open when you launch Xcode."

In Xcode, there is a keyboard shortcut to hide the navigator, ⌘,0. But it stopped working. I went to system preferences and manually added it back but it disappeared again. Why does this keep happening?
I just realized that I had the developer documentation window open. For some reason, when this window is open, the "Hide Navigator" keyboard shortcut is no longer active. For all currently open Xcode windows. However, the command (⌘, 0) works only once to close the navigator in the developer documentation window then stops working until you close the window.
Is it possible to detach the console/log window in Xcode 6 to Xcode 9? If so, how do you detach it from the main console, into it's own window?
This question was previously asked for Xcode 4 but the answer doesn't work for Xcode 6 to Xcode 9 -
Stackoverflow - Same Question for Xcode 4
See the attached screenshot for illustration of the console/log view in question
Well, better late than never....
I found that I could maneuver and detach the console.
Add new tab.
Name the tab (eg Debugger).
In the new tab, expand the console so it fills the main window.
Right-click the new tab and select open in new window.
You'll have to quit Xcode and restart it to maintain the new window, rather than close projects or windows separately.
Apologize for the delay. Hope this is still useful..
UPDATE
This still works with Xcode 11.3!
To stop seperating the window : Xcode > Behaviors > Edit Behaviors
Then set as in the screenshot:
Solution without restarting Xcode. Thank #David DelMonte for illuminating me.
You can change Xcode behaviors configuration to open a new tab named Debugger in a separate window when project start running.
Then expand console view to full window in the debugger tab, Xcode will remember your reforms.
I accidentally open one more window in Xcode (not a new tab). Now for one of my projects I see 2 windows in Window menu. I don't know if I am not make a mistake - think that those are 2 windows. Please tell me if I am wrong and how to close or open new window in Xcode?
I know one way to open new window, maybe someone want too
To open new window within same project firstly open a new tab with CMD+T then drag tab title until you see window miniature, release it. Done!
After updating Xcode via App Store, I now have 2 Xcode apps in my launchpad. I can delete the new one by holding my mouse button down and clicking the x that appears, but only for the new one.
The easiest way to fix this is to head to your applications folder, (Using the menu bar, not a dock folder) and manually moving Xcode to your trash. After that, open launchpad and let it update. Both Xcodes will be gone. Then open your trash and right click Xcode, select Put Back. Voila, you fixed your problem and didn't even have to re-download!
If moving the app to trash and back does not solve the problem, try this command in the Terminal before you move the app back from the trash:
killall Dock
Run command in terminal will reset launchpad, it works for me
defaults write com.apple.dock ResetLaunchPad -bool true; killall Dock
NOTE: This will reset arrangement of you apps order by alphabetic.
When I started Xcode I always got a screen that let me choose which project to open, or to start a new project, or a few other options. A few days ago I noticed it had a checkbox that was prechecked that said something like "Always show this screen on startup". Unfortunately, I unchecked it. I thought it would just reopen the last project I was editing but that's not what it does. Now Xcode just launches without opening any window at all so you have to go into its File menu, choose open, and find your project. I want to go back to the previous (default) behavior but I can't find any way to go back.
Does anyone know how to get that opening screen to show again? (It's not in preferences.)
From Xcode 4 and above versions, it's "Window" -> "Welcome to Xcode (⇧⌘1)".
On the older Xcode 3, it's "Help" -> "Welcome to Xcode".
If you want to see the window every time Xcode starts, please tick "Show this window when Xcode launches":
Beware that you need to hover over this window to see this checkbox.
Step 1
Start Xcode, go to the top navigation bar called Window, click on Welcome to Xcode it will show you the project screen:
Step 2
Look at the bottom of the welcome screen, there will be "show this window when Xcode launches", tick it:
