I am writing from my 2016 15" MacBook Pro with macOS 10.12.6 and Xcode 9.1 installed and updated.
Since 9.0 I am experiencing very strange behaviours within Xcode, something that, with v8.x I was not encountering.
I tried to remove the app, reboot the computer and reinstall it, but with no luck.
I would therefore like to ask you if you could provide me with a detailed list of instructions to follow in order to be able to download and install Xcode 9.1 from the AppStore after having completely wiped out everything that may corrupt its functioning.
Some of the strange behaviours I am witnessing are:
- playgrounds opening in a corrupt state (text styles broken, navigation buttons broken ...)
- wrong SDK loading up on playgrounds creation
- 'missing labels' when trying to edit the TouchBar's appearance.
- ecc. ...
Please help me solve this.
I need to reinstall it as if I had never installed it before on the computer.
Thank you so much in advance!

Maybe try this :
1 - remove Xcode from /application folder
2 - finder bar => go => go to folder > ~/Library/Developer/
3 - remove developper folder
4 - Empty your trash (around 11 giga to delete)
5 - then reinstall Xcode

Iam running the latest OSX/Flutter/XCode Versions using flutter, android studio and firebase and 1 hour ago everthing works perfectly.
Then i rebooted my macbook and when i try to launch an ios simulator i get this error "Unable to boot the simulator".
The following steps shows no solution:
Reinstall the ios simulator
Flutter clean and pub get
Updating comand line tools 13.3.1 (13E500a)
Run invalid cache of android studio
I found the problem also on stackoverflow but all sugestions does not working.
Any ideas?
Let me know if you need more information!
Thank you
NO NEED TO UNINSTALL XCODE! Though I know the contributor already has solved the issue, I'm happy if this answer will help someone else.
Go to [About this Mac > Storage > Manage > Developer]
Delete all the content (no worries!)
You can delete xcode cache and it will work,
by going to
About this Mac > Storage > Manage > Developer or any folder you choosed for development when installing xcode and flutter then Delete XCode Cache.
Step 1:
Go to About this Mac
Step 2:
Go to Storage
Step 3:
Delete all the content Or Delete XCode Cache
You can just clean your Xcode Caches, and that will do the trick,
About this Mac
Storage
Developer
XCode Caches
For me it was not necessary to delete XCode. I could solve it with this:
1: Click on "About this Mac" in the top left corner
2: Click on "Storage"-Tab
3: Click on "Manage"-Button
4: Click on "Developer"-Tab
5: Right click on all the data and "Delete"
For Mac Ventura 13.0 OS and higher -> Click apple logo on top left of your Mac
System Settings > search Storage > Developer
Then delete Xcode Caches
Product-> Clean Build Folder works for me!
After checking some other comments, it seems uninstalling XCode is not necessary.
The issue is not directly related to Flutter but it is related to the XCode 13.3.1 with the Simulator, specially for iPhone and iPad (tvOS and watchOS should have no issue so far).
Somehow the existing files during the security update causes the simulator to get corrupted.
As temporary workaround, you can try the following steps:
Uninstall XCode by moving from Applications folder to the Trash
Empty the Trash
Open the Mac Storage Management and go to the Developer in the sidebar
Delete everything from the Developer Section
Download Xcode 13.1 from Apple Developers and not the stable release from App Store
Extract the downloaded Xcode_13.1.xip file, i actually recommend via terminal by using xip -x Xcode_13.3.1.xip, and take in mind the extraction uses 100GB and it takes up to 2 hours to complete. You are going to have this message at the beggining xip: signing certificate was "Software Update" (validation not attempted), but you can ignore since this is expected.
Finally, move the extracted XCode file to the Applications folder
Run sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
Run sudo xcodebuild -runFirstLaunch
I'm in desperate need of some help, I tried to update to the latest version of Xcode (12.5.1), after 20 minutes I noticed it said Downloading 1.09GB of 1.09GB.
after 2 hours it still said it was downloading, so I assumed it was stuck.
I tried to stop the update through the App Store by clicking the stop button and nothing happened
so I figured if it's just downloading it can't hurt to delete it, dragged it into the trash bin and emptied the bin.
it was at this point the launch pad updated to say it was now Installing 1.09GB of 1.09GB (although, I'm now starting to doubt it actually said downloading in the first place - Dyslexia - )
anyway, now I'm kind of stuck, I can't seem to stop the update, but the update won't continue.
Can anyone help me with this because reddit is telling me to wipe the MacBook clean and use a fresh install (which is NOT ideal)?
I ran into this same problem while attempting to install XCode 13 running MacOS Big Sur 11.6. I fixed it with these steps:
Cancel the App Store install (click the progress circle)
Uninstall XCode 12 (drag it to the trash bin)
Update mac OS to very latest
Re-Initiate install from App Store of XCode 13
Wait 8 hours - last 25% of completion takes the longest
Ok, If this issue should arise for anyone in the future:
When you delete Xcode during the installation of an update, macOS will (eventually) recognise that Xcode is missing and re-download the app
also, If you are concerned that Xcode's installation has stopped you can actually check the progress of the installation by opening Console, clicking on your Mac in the sidebar and typing appstore into the search bar.
scroll to the bottom and you will see a second-by-second report of the installation and the estimated time remaining.
For me, at about 95% it seemed to stop, the progress was not changing, but after about an hour the progress began to tick up again so I assume it was a big file
My code was working fine (showing UI properly) when I had Xcode 9 and I removed it from the application folder (could not update as it had installed using another apple id) and reinstall the Xcode 10 from the Appstore.
Now Xcode storyboard not showing any added UI elements colors or anything and I removed Xcode 10 and installed Xcode 9 again but problem remains same.
UI screen shot of storyboard.
I tried removing Xcode in this way:
/Applications/Xcode.app
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dt.Xcode.plist
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dt.Xcode.plist
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.dt.Xcode
~/Library/Application Support/Xcode
~/Library/Developer/Xcode
~/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator
Then I tried installing macOs Mojave and install XCode 10 again from the Appstore. Issue still remains. I tried cleaning derived data, xuserdata and everything.
Try cleaning your project using "Command + K"
and run your project again!
Hope it works!
I encountered the same issue that you are facing in my case i had xCode 10.0 installed and everything was working fine. As soon as I installed version 10.1 I faced the same issue that you're facing but the good thing was i had xCode 10.0 installed at the same time so I switched back and everything was working fine.
From my point of view my system(Mac-mini mid 2011) was lacking hardware specification that was required for xCode 10.1 also had very low graphic processor in my mac mini. If you install the same version in a MacBook or any other system having higher specification you'll face the issue. I hope that helps.
I was stuck on this all day. One of my coworkers suggested removing occurrences of IB_DESIGNABLE & #IBDesignable. This fixed the issue for me. It still lags sometimes but doesn’t go invisible anymore.
If you have multiple xib files then just try to switch between or Try moving to launchScreen storyboard and then switch to main storyboard. I think this is just loading issue.
Reinstall Xcode. That worked for me.
Click on library button(Circular Button) which is left to hamburger sign(Top Bar Right Side). Elements will be popup on your screen then you can choose elements.
try
xcrun simctl erase all
it helped me with the same problem
I'm trying to downgrade from xcode 9 to xcode 8, I have deleted the 9 version already then i realize that version 8 is not opening working.
all what happening that when i click on xcode icon it will show the very first new project screen for less than 1 second and disappear again.
macOS High Sierra
Version 10.13.6
if you have Xcode pops up a window with a list of most recent projects, but then switch off very fast. that mean you have every thing fine and all you need is to go to any txt file in your computer (file.txt) right click open with and select you Xcode you have installed it Will work fine
At start you need to completely uninstall XCode 9, including derived data, devtools, simulators, etc. Type 'uninstall xcode completely' in Google and you will find many advises of how to do that, including at StackOverflow, e.g.
How to Completely Uninstall Xcode and Clear All Settings
After that you can install XCode 8 by placing XCode.app to Applications folder. Everything else it should do during first run.
Apple announced the Xcode 5 Developer Preview today and I want to try it.
But before I download this, I want to know that what happen with my current version of Xcode (version 4.6.2)?
Will the Xcode 5 Developer Preview install as a different application or it will remove the old version? Will some common tools collide, like the command line tools?
The Xcode 5 developer preview comes as a normal app DMG (not with the usual packager/installer) and has a different name.
So essentially, you download it, open a DMG, then pull to the Applications folder and thence have two Xcodes there (the old and the new one called Xcode5-DP). It even comes with a slightly different icon (red badge across a corner) and the intro screen is different too, so there is very little chance of confusing them.
I already did that today (and a colleague also).
Now that xcode 5 has reached the first official release and is no longer in beta, you have to do ONE of the following if you wish to keep BOTH versions.
Run the dmg of the new version you download from developer.apple.com. Drag the app to applications, and when asked to overwrite click KEEP BOTH. This will rename the existing app to xcode 2 I believe.
Select your existing xcode 4 in applications. Rename it to xcode4 or whatever. Now you can drag in the new version without overwriting the existing one.
Drag the new xcode to someplace other than applications. Rename it and then drag it into applications.
I personally favour option 2, since going forward we'll be using xcode 5 and it's helpful if it retains the default name from the get go for easy updating.
BTW, if you do have more than one xcode installed expect the mac app store to report that you need to do an update. Probably best to install it by downloading it from the developer portal if this sort of thing bugs you.
Xcode 5 preview works fine with Xcode 4.6.2 or any other Xcode, It has different icon and it runs from its .dmg file (no install).
Pay attention you cannot submit an app with Xcode 5, So keep the old Xcode till Apple would release the stable version of Xcode 5.
Short answer: Dont replace XCode 4!
If you plan to deploy some app to appstore, you can't do it using Xcode 5 at this moment.
The best way is download the Xcode 5 version, unpack it and run the app on different folder (not application folder). You will stay with Xcode 4, and can run Xcode 5 separated (You don't need to 'install' xcode 5).
