Lately in Xcode 5.1.1, my Related Items menu (Control-1) doesn't list Callers.
Is there a workaround to make it appear again?
The listing in the menu is content related.
So in Storyboard no Callers are given.
In a code module (.m) the list does nicely appear in my Xcode 5.1.1
In my case the issue was the Version editor was open. (e.g. Comparison, Blame, Log.)
When the version editor is open, Callers doesn't show up in the context menu.

With Xcode 10.2, I could select the "Authors" view, then select a previous git revision to blame from the bottom picker:
But with Xcode 11 beta, when I select the "Authors" view, I'm unable to select a past revision to blame because the picker is missing:
Was that feature removed, or are there new steps to do to blame the lines of code for a past revision? To illustrate it even more, I'd like to see in Xcode 11 a past Blame like GitHub does when you blame a specific previous revision.
It has been moved here
It has been moved here
for a git blame version click Editor->Author as it, sure it moved
you can select the icon located in top-right of Xcode to find a previous revision
Select the icon in the window title bar to enter "Code Review" mode.
git log (History) is available at Cmd-Alt-2. There you can open a specific commit in code review mode via the context menu.
Mine wasn't showing up until I went to Editor > Show Last Change For Line. After I selected that, the 'Authors' row appeared in Editor > Authors, as well as in the 'Adjust Editor Options' icon in the top right of the page.
Answer to the original question:
You can't. Since Xcode 11, you can only git-blame your working copy. Note: This is my suggested answer after a lot of trying and googling. I'd be happy to learn the opposite.
Further information:
Many people, including me, seem to land on this page because they don't find the git-blame feature AT ALL in Xcode 11.
In Xcode < 10, the version editor came in three flavors: 1) Comparison view (=side-by-side diff), 2) Author (=git-blame) 3) Log. In all three flavors, you could choose a specific revision to look at.
In Xcode >= 11, the version editor (now called “Code Review”) only encompasses the comparison view (=side-by-side diff). The Code Review mode is toggled on/off with the double arrow button in the tool bar.
The Authors view (a.k.a. git-blame) is now a side-pane of the normal editor and can be toggled on/off in the Editor main menu. THIS OPTION IS NOT AVAILABLE WHEN YOU ARE IN CODE REVIEW MODE! For me, this caused confusion when looking for the Authors view.
The fact that the Authors view is not part of the version editor might be the reason that we cannot choose to look at arbitrary revisions. I have filed a suggestion with Apple to re-enable this feature. You should consider to do the same to give the issue more visibility.
In Xcode 11, the previous "Authors" menu item doesn't appear by default in the menu set. The simplest way to make it appear is to press the default key bind shift+control+command+A. After that, you'll find that "Minimap", "Authors", and "Code Coverage" now appear in the "Editors" menu.
If you go up to the top of Xcode, go to "View" and tap on "Show code review", you'll be able to get the git history with author information like on older versions of Xcode.
The latest version of macOS Sierra adds a 'Show/Hide tab bar' menu item to the 'View' menu.
It does this dynamically.
My application already includes its own tab bar using the MMTabBarView library. I would prefer to continue using this library as it gives me backwards compatibility with tabs, plus the ability to do some customization to tabs.
I'm not seeing anything in apples NSDocument or NSDocumentController documentation on removing this menu item.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can remove it?
NOTE: I do not want to simply disable it, I am looking to remove it completely. (Or I guess not have it added in the first place).
In Interface Builder, open the attributes of your NSWindow and you'll see an option called "Tabbing Mode". Set it to Disallowed.
Many times I have seen this screen in Xcode. However, I don't know how to reproduce this or use this feature.
It happens when you do SHIFT+ALT+CLICK on a file in the project navigator.
When this panel appears, you can click on the boxes or on the "+" to open the file in a different view.
I always have my Xcode assistant editor open with counterparts option. It's very handy to have an *.m file opened at standard editor while having corresponding *.h file in assistant editor.
After recent update to version 6.3 Xcode started to show random instead of corresponding headers quite often. Several clicks to "four squares" icon and mode usually brings it back (but it's very annoying).
Do you experience this too? How to fix it?
Note: deleting DerivedData didn't helped
As a workaround, one could use the Reset Editor command with the keyboard shortcut Command+Option+Shift+Z (US keyboard layout). If your keyboard layout doesn't match, you can see the key binding in View->Assistant Editor->Reset Editor. A word of caution, though, this will close any additional Assistant Editors you may have opened (the ones that open by clicking "+").
Another thing I noticed is the bug happens when you are switching Xcode windows or tabs but not when you are switching files within the same tab.
It looks like it's a just bug after all. I filed a bug report rdar://20684654. For a workaround see the accepted answer.
UPDATE: it's fixed in Xcode 6.4 beta
Somehow my Xcode settings got messed up as it would only show my Main.storyboard file as XML code. I've been told this can be fixed by selecting the Interface Builder from the "Open As" menu, but there is nothing under the menu (the only "selection" is a greyed-out "<None>"). I've cleared my Xcode caches, but this does not help. Other than that, my project still compiles properly.
How can this be resolved?
As so many people have pointed out, right-click on the file and hover over Open As and select Default - Interface Builder.
However, if this is not an option for you because Open As shows <None>, make sure you are in the standard editor and not the version editor. Go up to View in Xcode menu --> view --> hover over Standard Editor and select Show Standard Editor. Now repeat the steps others have suggested and you should get the results you're looking for.
Hide Code Review helped here (Xcode 12.2).
You might be in code review mode and Xcode thinks you want to compare the XMLs
change to Standard Editor by clicking 'Command + Enter' key . Then Main.storyboard may show as Interface Builder.
I had the same issue, where "Open As" wasn't an option on the main storyboard, and xibs were also showing as XML.
The solution that worked for me was to right click on an xib which did have the "Open as --> Interface Builder" option. Then, I went back to storyboard, and the main storyboard showed up properly.
Tap on the Arrows icon that are left and right, see image below:
If you go over to the project outline and control click on the storyboard file and hold down the cursor, you will see the option to open as, this will let you open the storyboard as a certain type. Click on that and choose open as story board. Good luck!
EDIT#1
Sorry, I think I misread your post. I thought you were doing those steps from the menu bar. Not the outline. I am assuming you have restarted Xcode and your computer.
I had this issue with Xcode 8, no luck with Open As > menu... and the solution was as follow:
Make sure the Type is Default - Interface Builder in the Identity and Type right panel (see screenshot). In my case it was "Swift source code" selected :
Now, in the left pane, right-click on your storyboard, and magically then the option Open As > Interface Builder - Storyboard appeared !
I had "Main.storyboard.xml" in Xcode 9 folder but can not see "Default - Interface Builder" in the list of extensions proposed in "Identity and type".
I simply deleted the .xml extension in the name of "Identity and type" and then I can see again "Default - Interface Builder" in Open as.
This is just a quick fix/ long shot, and depending on the specifics of your situation it might not be helpful at all, but you can import and open storyboard files in other projects.
So, try importing your storyboard file in a new project and see if it displayed correctly there.
Has helped me in the past with misbehaving nib files.
Took some doing but I found how to fix this every time... When you click on the storyboard and it is showing as source, click on the icon that shows the utilities view on the righthand side.. Look for the identity type.. Type should be Default - Interface Builder.. Mine got switch to C Source Code.. Not sure how.. but...
I was stuck at (Hide Code Review helped here . You might be in code review mode and Xcode thinks you want to compare the XMLs)
left and right arrow icons is code review Mode
