This is on OS X Yosemite. It appears when I try launching Xcode.
There are no updates shown in the App Store and there are no active downloading updates shown, either. Not exactly the pinnacle of Apple's great user experiences.
I hope I don't have to do a clean install…
This happened to me during the installation of iTunes 12.2.1 (1220C173).
I restarted my computer and ended the update, then Xcode opened properly.
Happened to me as well. Restarting the computer fixed it.
Restart fixed mine too - after restarting, it asked me if I wanted to install some required components, and once that was done it worked fine.
Opening Xcode from the App Store fixed this issue for me.
Looking at the screenshot it seems a weird error. I don't think there will be a easy solution for this error. You have to go through the hard way.
Update/Install xcode again. If it didn't then
Update iTunes and launch/download Xcode again. If it didn't then
Update your Mac OS and try the above
P.S: I usually download xcode from here rather than from Appstore( requires Apple ID to login) https://developer.apple.com/downloads/
In my case I attempted to download Xcode 6.4 from the AppStore and got this same message AND the AppStore progress indicator was stuck; I couldn't pause the download because the button was grayed out. I rebooted and restarted the download a few times to no avail. But then I decided to wait and let the thing work itself out, and it did. Aparently there is a bug in the AppStore download for Xcode 6.4 that DOES download it (and it took forever in my slow connection) but does not show a progress bar. When I opened the Activity Monitor's Network tab, there it was!

After updating macOS,
I cannot update XCode anymore:
I have been waiting for 2 hours but AppStore does not update.
How do I restart the Xcode update process from the beginning?
Regards
It updated successfully, after around 5 hours. I just did nothing, just left it there.
It is painfully slow when it comes to the 'Installing' stage.
Based on the log from console, it does not look like it is spinning empty.
For example, progress from 94.67% to ...
... 94.83% took almost 20 sec
A lot of the pain of updating XCode from the App Store can be avoided by downloading the latest version from the Apple Developer website directly (including beta versions if you are into them). Use this Apple Developer link.
For more information see this Ask Different answer.
I also had problems with updating Xcode even after deleting it and trying to install it again via the App Store. For me it helped to switch to the Purchased tab in the App Store and cancelling all the other downloads (by pressing Alt / Option and then clicking Cancel). Then the download of Xcode started, hope this helps!
I think there's a download running in background which would explain this waiting time.
I restarted a few times my Macbook pro, and ended up waiting until it ran the update successfuly.
When you make an XCode update, you have to do it when you have free time ahead, not during rushes, you never know how much time it can take
Currently Xcode update from developer tools does not work. Also Xcode 9.3 after download the install gets blocked because the file is corrupted. Additional Tool for Xcode 9.3 downloads and install but then does not work either. App Store downloads Xcode and restart but then it is not functional

In my case, my ISP has a slow connection when downloading from Apple's server. Try using VPN to get a faster connection.
Installing Xcode from App store was stuck for me as well it kept on showing rotating loader, I have to say their progress bar isn't the best indicator. Before losing hopes its always best to check the progress behind the curtain. You are going to need 'Console' app for this.
Search for 'Console' app from Spotlight Search.
Then go to search bar and type "App Store".
Next you need to click on start.
You will see a lot of activity in app store as it happens. You will see something like "Completed: 980 of 1000"(based on your progress). Monitor that and it will move.
So it's a better indicator rather than sitting and watching app store loading progress.
I have a macbook air and I went to the store to install Xcode 7.3 and hit the update App button, and a loading icon appeared but after waiting 30 min time nothing happened. I successfully installed simple recorder from the store but I can't install Xcode.
What can i do?
What are the options to download it?
Try restarting your computer to see if Xcode has installed. This will also refresh the app store, so try downloading it again.
If all else fails:
You should uninstall all current versions of Xcode on your Mac. Do this by dragging each application to the Trash can. Delete your trash.
After, try downloading Xcode again and everything should go through.
You aren't aloud to download old versions of Xcode from the App Store.
I suggest you to download the new XCode 8. It works just fine, even if your update button doesn't seem to work. Need to use the App Store. Also, if you happen to be a React Native developer, you may want to follow this article just after having installed this new XCode version.
If you simply cannot install the latest version, I suggest going to www.developer.apple.com and click the Develop Tab, Xcode, Download, sign in with your apple id, and get an Xcode beta version.
www.developer.apple.com -> Login -> Account -> Downloads
If only spinner is showing, without progress. Open Activity monitor and check if installd is running and using a lot of memory. Try killing that process and update again.
Something has gone wrong with my Xcode install... I was running my app and seeing odd behaviour within the app itself, for starters I wasn't able to run the build in the simulator.. it'd install and never launch, eventually putting up a dialogue box about being unable to bless the connection to the simulator. I'd had this problem a few days before but it eventually went away, googling just revealed people having issues with the beta builds or beta MacOSX.
Eventually today I rebooted my Mac and having done so, launching Xcode gave me some other error about the simulator, which I didn't properly take notice of. Since then my project no longer lists any simulators to deploy with, if i try to add new simulators the button to add the simulator does nothing and I have to cancel the dialogue box. If I try and run the simulator or watch simulator directly it just beach balls indefinitely and i have to force kill it.
I've created a new user account and within that made a new Xcode project, which also has no simulators.
I've got a zipped backup of my Xcode from before this problem occurred which I've extracted and swapped in place and it makes no difference.
I guess I could do with redownloading the app off the AppStore in hope that the installer would do something to fix this problem.
Anyone got any thoughts on other things I can try?!
Cheers
What is most likely to be the case is that your XCode installation is corrupt. The best thing to do is to delete Xcode entirely and also these directories and files:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.dt.*
~/Library/Caches/xctest
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.dt.*
~/Library/Developer
~/Library/MobileDevice
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dt.*
~/Library/SavedState/com.apple.dt.*
Then reboot your system and reinstall Xcode. Hopefully that should have cleared out the issue.
Since I installed the Xcode 5 from the App Store I can't start Xcode.
I click on the Xcode icon, then icon bounce 1 time then nothing.
The program doesn't respond...
I tried to uninstall and reinstall Xcode but I got the same problem.
I think the best way is to completely uninstall XCode and its accompanying utilities.
You can follow this link for that.
I am plagued by this problem. Ever since I updated to XCode 5 I have had nothing but trouble. When I open it it does nothing but it does say Application Not Responding when you right-click the icon in the tray.
Once I walked away and hours later when I came back it was open. So I tried it again and waited. around 30 minutes later, it opened. I've figured out that if you wait long enough, eventually it opens.
I know this is only a temporary, partial solution, but it may be all you have until the release Mavericks. I have read in searching for a solution that XCode 5 works in 10.9 but developers struggle using it on 10.8.5 <----- specifically 5!
I just installed the 10.8.5 supplemental 1.0 update and it didn't change anything for me.
Try to open the program and see if letting it sit for a while maybe even overnight, and see if it opens like mine. If so, maybe someone can help with that extra information.
Well i have the exact same problem that you are facing. This is how you can solve it:
First of all just uninstall the current version of Xcode from your Mac completely. You can delete it from the Applications. After that you will still see the Xcode icon in the LaunchPad and i don't know why. You have to delete it from the LaunchPad too. Just by clicking and holding until the cross button appears and then press the cross button to delete.
Once this is done, don't download it from the App Store. Instead download from a direct link. Go to this LINK and find the Xcode and download the DMG file. Then you can install it and you will have no problem.
You can either waste your time troubleshooting the problem or you can just do what i told you to save some time. The choice is yours!
Hope this helps!
Just updated to Xcode 5 and this is the first error its throwing on the logger for all my apps. Can't seem to understand why this is happening.

Edit (11-11-2013): To everyone reading, once I waiting for a solid working solution to accept and close. The highest voted answer works until you re-open the project only.
Edit (30-09-2014): I can see this has been sorted since XCode 6 has been released! Finally
Final Edit-
Temporary workaround: click iOS Simulator > Reset Content and
Settings... and run again.
This error message may reappear at random. For me, it happens when I
launch a different application. There are several threads in Apple dev
forums and in StackOverflow about this problem, but none have a
definitive answer. This seems to be a SDK error to be fixed in the
next Xcode version.
Updated: October 3.

Further Edit
Although this was potentially the issue resolution at the time. I believe some of the newer answers below relating to the better touch tool are in fact the correct resolutions.
After reading Kirill's answer I did some digging as I didn't want to disable BetterTouchTool for everything just the "iOS Simulator" and you can.
Open the "iOS Simulator" and will it as the active app go to the BTT drop-down menu from the top bar (of that screen if you have more than one) and select "Disable BTT for Current App". It will turn to a play icon when it's disabled.
Make sure the app name on the bar is still "iOS Simulator" as mine jumped to "Finder" a few times when I clicked the top bar!
Now re-set the simulator (if it doesn't work) and rebuild. You shouldn't get the error! :)
Don't forget to clear the error if it's still there. ;)
BTT seems to remember what apps it's disabled for (or at least it does when you close and re-open the app that's disabled I haven't tried a system re-boot yet).
Its easy. Go iOS simulator and reset content and setting.
Thanks
If you are using XCode-5 then just reset the simulator "Reset Content and Settings" and run once again
So I was having this error too in Xcode 5 and 5.1. I wanted to figure out if it's Xcode bug or something else, so I did a fresh install of Mavericks 10.9.2 and Xcode 5.1. Everything seemed fine after multiple tests.
Here is where the problem began. I put the apps and settings that I mostly use and the error came back. So I deleted everything and started adding everything one by one. After couple days I had bingo! The problem is with BetterSnapTool and BetterTouchTool
Update 12.12.2014
Just started using Xcode 6.1 and noticed that this bug seems to be gone at least with Xcode 6.1 simulators and BTT 0.9985 versions.
Update:
As GasB pointed out, it is possible to disable BTT for certain apps. So just disable it for iOS Simulator. You just have to remember not to use gestures while using the simulator as that triggers the error message.
Simple solution:
Remove the ticks in preference pane, reset simulator and do clean build. The error message will disappear.

I had the same problem and solved it setting the 'Localization native development region' to match my systems region. In my case from 'en' to 'de'. The referenced files are stored in localized versions in your filesystem. So this setting is used to identify the needed version.
You can find that setting in your project settings at 'Info' -> 'Custom iOS Target Properties'.
Resetting the simulator ‘fixes’ it because it turns the accessibility support off. You can normally achieve the same by simply disabling the ‘Accessibility Inspector’ in the ‘Settings’ app.
If, however, you need it enabled, particularly hate this error message, and are feeling adventurous then you can use the following monkey patches to silence the error: https://gist.github.com/alloy/9277316. (Be sure to NOT include this in your release builds.)
Resetting the simulator is a PITA, I found a way to get rid of these messages without having to to this:
go to Settings > Accessibility
turn on Accessibility Inspector
turn off Accessibility Inspector
quit Simulator
I had this problem with Xcode 5 in ML 10.8.5
I re-installed Mountain Lion (in a Parallels' VM), then update ML to 10.8.5.
Then installrd Xcode 5, and it's worked fine.
I think that the error is caused by a third SW installed in ML.
The application Moom is also causing this issue, and I couldn't find a way to disable it for just the iOS Simulator. So for now I disabled it's accessibility features.
I'm on Mavericks (10.9.3) and encountered the same error in xCode(5.1.1).
I tried anything - reinstalling xCode from both AppStore and dmg. Resetting the emulator resulted in the same error and deleting the Simulator SDK folder gave no results too.
The issue on my end was indeed Moom as mentioned by #aorcsik! Disabling it's accessibility, followed by clean (cmd+shift+k) in xCode cleared the error.
Open Disk Utility and apply Repair Disk Permissions in Macintosh HD.
After doing above step, apply Reset Contents and Settings in iOS Simulator.
This above solution can definitely fix your problem.
I had this problem, and none of the answers in this thread could fix it. Mine was simple UI with a UIDatePicker. I resolved it by removing the UIDatePicker and the associated code, then added them in again. Problem solved!
For me it was Keyboard Maestro, adding the simulator to Maestro's exclude list silenced the warnings
