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.

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.
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 For some reason, when this window is open, the "Hide Navigator" keyboard shortcut is no longer active.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.
This icon appears beside my program name in the debug navigator when running in the debugger in Xcode 7. I think it's new. I assume it means my lights are on. I checked, though, and they're off. Any other ideas?
It indicates an open crash report. If you open a crash report from the Organizer, it opens in the debug view and shows you the running threads and stack status from the crash report. I forgot I had one open. There's no way to close it that I can find.
Apple documented it in the Process View Display section.

You can delete the crash report from the debug navigator by selecting the item and hitting backspace (←). This works actually with Xcode 11.5.
I have tried disabling "show in destination menu". But that does not work.
I am trying to hide all version except 8.4 & 9.0 without uninstalling them. How can that be done?
I hope this question is not considered a non-programming question. Because there is no answer anywhere for this.
I also tried hiding certain Simulators that I usually don't build for to help reduce menu clutter. Unchecking the 'show in destination menu' option also did not have any effect.
The best I could do was to just delete the Simulator from the Devices window.
I know that if I wanted to re-add that simulator for future testing, all I had to do was tap the '+' icon, and click 'Add Simulator', and add the desired Simulator.
I have been using Xcode 4.3.3 for a few days on my retina mac (Lion, of course). At work I always have my Xcode window on a Cinema Display and have never experienced any problems. However, I threw an Xcode window onto the pro's display and tried to resize the debug bar - Xcode hangs. 99-100% CPU and the cursor turns into the rainbow wheel of death. I tried deleting everything in ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData because that has cleared up all of my issues with Xcode in the past, but that's a no go. I want to do some iOS development when I am not at work, but this makes it pretty hard to do since I don't have a cinema display or other monitor at home.
Here's the sample from the Activity Monitor:

I figured it out. By default, Apple opens Xcode in a resolution optimized for the Retina Display. You can force XCode (or any other application) to open with a lower resolution by doing the following:
Quit the application if it is currently open.
In the Finder, choose Applications from the Go menu.
In the Applications folder that opens, click the application's icon so it is highlighted.
Choose Get Info from the File menu.
Place a checkmark next to "Open in Low Resolution" to enable Low Resolution mode.
Close the window and double click the Application to reopen it.
And it works!
