Something changed in Xcode and now every time I run my app it switches tabs to the Issue Navigator automatically. See pic below. How can I stop this from happening?
On the top menu, go to Xcode / Preferences / Behaviors. Then uncheck the option pictured below.

My questions is about Xcode 9 IDE.
For some unknown reason, soon after a debug session is started, Console stops auto scrolling to bottom. It stops somewhere in the middle (see screenshot below).
Is there a way to fix this annoying behaviour?
Step 1- Click in the console pane.
Step 2- Hit 'fn' + "→" (The 'End' shortcut on macOS)
I somehow enabled TV-Out in Xcode, and the window annoyingly appears every time I run a simulator. How can I disable it / hide it?
When the simulator is running, go to the Hardware->External Displays menu and select Disabled.
I'm trying to figure out how to use Xcode in a multi-window setup. I would like to have one window be my main window, and then have others that I use to do occasional spot editing. Here's the rub: I never want to have the navigator (or the debug console, for that matter) open in those other windows. I only want the navigator and console to open in the main window.
Right now, when I run the app the debug navigator and console open up in whichever window is frontmost (causing me to have both the main window and the secondary window with console pains and navigator open). Is there anyway to prevent the console and issue navigator from opening on the secondary window while preserving this behavior for the main window?
I'm not sure I fully understand what you want - but you can configure some of these things in the Xcode preferences under "Behaviors". Under "Running" you can click on "Starts" and it will show you the behaviors for when you run your application. You can set it to show a particular tab in the active window or a separate window. You can set up that tab to contain just the debugger. If it does show the debugger in the other tabs, you can minimize the debugger panes, and I believe it will save that state for the next time it launches. See here for more details.
Go to Xcode -> Behaviors -> edit behaviors. Now under build and running uncheck shows Navigator.
In Xcode Preferences > Behaviours > Runnings > Generates output, uncheck Show debugger with Current Views.
I have a dual-head setup for Xcode that I use for developing on iOS, with a split-pane editor and counterpart assistant on each screen. When I run a project it throws that away and takes over half my (active) screen with the debug navigator and console -- is there a way to have Xcode not show those on run? Or, even better, always show them on a particular screen?
Preferences->Behaviors. The default behaviour for "Running: Generates Output" is to switch to the debugger view and show the console - either turn that off or configure it to do something else.
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:
