I have already searched in the shortcuts in the Xcode preferences but I couldn't find a way to get it back.
My current interface:
Xcode 11 and 12: Click the "plus" button at the top, left of the "Show/Hide Code Review" button. Alternatively, use "View > Show Library" or hit Shift-Cmd-L.
Xcode 10: Click the "square in a circle" button at the top, left of the "show standard editor" button. Alternatively, use "View > Libraries > Show Library" or hit Shift-Cmd-L.
XCode 11
Click the button highlight in the image.
Check to see if it is buried under some other window - particularly if you've dragged xcode to a different monitor. The library shows up on the monitor that xcode was opened onto, and it won't appear atop something like a full screen video playback.

I have updated xcode to the latest version ( Version 12.0 (12A7209)) and I can't show the toggle icons that show/hide inspector, debug or navigator Area
How can I show them again?
For the navigator the button is now at the far left, or use Command 0.
For the inspector the button is now at the far right, or use Command Option 0.
Also, in full screen mode you can summon the inspectors as overlays by hovering at the side with the mouse. Very cool as it saves space.
For the debug area there is no button; use Shift Command Y.
Basically this is a good time to learn the keyboard shortcuts!
In Xcode 10, where is the Object Library which shows view and controller objects, code snippets and media that used to appear towards the lower right corner in Xcode 9 and older?
Xcode 9:
Xcode 10:
Shortcuts:
Shift + Command + L: Show Library.
Shift + Command + M: Show Media Library.
Xcode 10 has added a toolbar button to access the Object Library.
From a thread on Apple Developer Forum:
Library content has moved from the bottom of the Inspector area to an overlay window, which can be moved and resized like Spotlight search. It dismisses once items are dragged, but holding the Option key before dragging will keep the library open for an additional drag.
The library can be opened via a new toolbar button, the View > Libraries menu, or the ⇧⌘L keyboard shortcut. Content dynamically matches the active editor, so the same UI provides access to code snippets, Interface Builder, SpriteKit, or SceneKit items. The media library is available via a long press on the toolbar button, the View > Libraries menu, or the ⇧⌘M keyboard shortcut. (37318979, 39885726)
What the existing answers (so far) neglect to mention is that if you hold Option as you summon the Library window — i.e., press Shift + Option + Command + L, or hold Option while clicking the Library button in the toolbar — the window stays open, permanently, until you explicitly close it with its Close button.
It is not incorporated (docked) into the current project window, but it can be used in any project. The point is that it becomes almost a normal window (to be precise, it becomes a normal floating window).
XCode 11 - Object library location
Click on the plus icon on the top right corner of Xcode topbar.
The library can be opened via a new toolbar button, the View → Libraries menu, or the Shift + Command + L keyboard shortcut.The media library is available via a long press on the toolbar button, the View → Libraries menu, or the Shift + Command + M keyboard shortcut.
Library content has moved from the bottom of the Inspector area to an overlay window, which can be moved and resized like Spotlight search. It dismisses once items are dragged, but holding the Option key before dragging will keep the library open for an additional drag.
In Xcode 11 use Shift + Command + L to show the Object Library.
Xcode 12 users can find the same option as the Xcode 11 as written above.
Shift Command L to bring up the Objects/Image/Color and other context-sensitive libraries.
There is also the + sign at the top right of the window titled Library when you mouseover.
This drove me crazy trying to follow a tutorial that was likely written for Xcode 10. Thanks for the rest of those that answered!
I am using the latest iOS system for Mac, and have just finished completing all the updates.
I am trying to find the Developer Menu on the Mac, but I can't see it anywhere? Some have said if you just click Safari - Preferences there should be an option there, but I don't see it.
Any help would be hugely appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Kimberley
Open the preferences, select the "Advanced" tab and check the "Show Develop menu in menu bar" checkbox at the bottom.
try to minimize the screen of safari after that next to the APPLE logo you will see that file, edit, etc... also Develop tab in menu bar
I am exploring iOS8 beta. I couldn't find the device console logs in "Window->Devices->MyiPad". Can someone tell me how I can get the console logs?
You are on the right way. Just click on the small arrows down (see the image)and it will show you the Logs.
Here's an updated image of josef's answer with Xcode 7.3.1
1) Plug in the device and open Xcode
2) Choose Window -> Devices from the menu bar
3) Under the DEVICES section in the left column, choose the device
4) To see the device console, click the up-triangle at the bottom left of the right hand panel
5) Click the down arrow on the bottom right to save the console as a file
There's a small arrow pointing down under 'Installed Apps'. They've made it almost impossible to find on your own...
Xcode 9
Window -> Devices and Simulators
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:
