I just upgraded to Mountain Lion (from Snow Leopard) so as to take advantage of Xcode 4.
Before installing Xcode 4, I would like to remove Xcode 3 (not required, but want to clean up before moving on).
The standard method of removing Xcode 3 is:
$ sudo <Xcode>/Library/uninstall-devtools --mode=all
However, when I issue this command, even from within the /Library folder, the only thing that happens is I get a "command not found" after entering my password.
I can see uninstall-devtools in Finder, so I know it's there. I just can't execute it for some reason. I've tried every possible way of running the uninstall tools.
Assistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
If the file really is there, type sudo in the terminal window (with a trailing space), drag and drop the uninstall-devtools file on the window, then append --mode=all. That should clear any chance you have to make a typo or any other mistake.
Similarly to information I found in another SO article, my laptop's old XCode 3.2 didn't even have the uninstall-tools utility.
So it worked fine for me to simply delete the XCode.app folder.

Any ideas?
MacOS High Sierra 10.13.1
Xcode 9.1 9B55
As KellyTheDude mentioned, renaming or moving the Xcode.app will fix the issue on OSX 10.13 (High Sierra) since /usr/libexec/xpccachectl (the preferred solution) does not seem to exist under this version of the OS. To fix quickly:
Rename Xcode in the applications folder temporarily.
Name it back to Xcode
UPDATE: This fix also works on macOS Mojave (10.14) and Xcode 10
UPDATE: This also fixes the Xcode Source Editor not showing up in System Preferences under Extensions (for Swiftify, etc.)
Oddly I was able to fix this by moving my Xcode.app to Applications. I originally had it nested in a subdirectory under there to version it, but alas, someone must have hardcoded a path somewhere.
I fixed this by quitting Xcode and deleting all the files in directory ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/.
This happens to me once in awhile and deleting derived data and restarting Xcode doesn't work for me. I usually have to do the following:
Close Xcode
Execute command in terminal: sudo /usr/libexec/xpccachectl
Restart my computer.
Restarting the computer is a required step.

I had the same issue with Xcode10.1.
All Answers here did not work for me.
I was able to solve this issue only by reinstalling Xcode.
Delete Xcode10.1 and empty trash.
Delete all files in ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/ directory and empty trash.
Restart Mac.
Download and install Xcode10.1.
Step 1:
Xcode > Preferences > Key bindinds > Now Search for "Documentation" in search bar you will see key for Add Documentation
Step 2:
Double click and assign new key as "Alt + Control + /"
Result: It will work now but if you want to change it back to what it was (Alt + command + /) you can do that.
Also, this will enable the Add Documentation in Editor > Structure
Its a hack and worked for me.
It looks like XCode came out with a new update. This issue seems to be persistent where the iTunes Store does not render the update even though it posts it in the "Updates Installed in Last 30 Days" section. After I restart, I am then prompted to update again even though I have already done it twice. Ultimately, the update does not apply when I open XCode (it still shows 7.3, not 7.3.1):
There is only one way! For this you need:
1. Delete the XCode 7.3 from Applications folder
2. Download the Xcode 7.3.1 from here
3. install it manually
That's it))
A possible method of resolving this issue which has worked for people including myself, is as follows:
Close App Store.
Using terminal type the following:
open $TMPDIR/../C
Locate and then delete the folder named com.apple.appstore
Empty Trash folder, if you get an error message saying that files are in use try the following:
sudo rm -rf ~/.Trash/*
Restart Mac.
Once you have restarted your Mac try to install the update.
If this does not work delete Xcode from /Applications and repeat the above method.
Installed MacVim on my Yosemite 10.10.2 Macbook Pro today from http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/25988/macvim
The problem is that no editor window(s) are visible. If I open a file using the menu, there's simply no effect: no editor window appears. It's not hidden behind other windows, it's not listed in the Windows menu, it's just entirely undisplayed.
Strangely, the file will appear in the MRU list, though. So this renders the entire editor completely useless. Should I just build gvim myself? Is this app actually being maintained by anyone?
I'd read some answers which suggest running:
brew install macvim
... does the trick.
You might want to try that first.
What worked for me...
However, this didn't work for me because although it updated my macvim, the one being linked to in the /Applications folder was not the version being updated by brew.
So, here are the steps I had to take.
Quit MacVim if open.
Delete the MacVim file in /Applications.
In the terminal, run:
brew install macvim --override-system-vim
Run (this will add the link to your Applications file):
brew linkapps macvim
I can't be sure every step above is required, or that the --override-system-vim flag is required, but I can tell you that doing the above steps worked for me.
Hope this helps.
It looks like MacVim development has been moved to a new repository (and maybe a different group of developers?):
https://github.com/macvim-dev/macvim
This repo has had changes applied to fix MacVim's graphical problems under Yosemite. (This is the same location that brew's macvim formula currently pulls its source from, which is why MacVim works on Yosemite when installed via brew.)
They also have a set of precompiled binary releases:
https://github.com/macvim-dev/macvim/releases
The latest ("snapshot 76") has worked fine for me in Yosemite so far. You just need to download the .tbz archive, double-click it to unpack to a folder, then drag the MacVim.app icon to Applications -- much easier and less invasive than installing a whole package management system and build environment! :)
Note: I had to execute a command given in another StackOverflow answer to correct a rendering glitch seen in full screen mode for snapshot 76:
$ defaults write org.vim.MacVim MMNativeFullScreen 0
I got the same problem today.
The solution:
mv ~/.vimrc ~/.vimrc_bak
It looks like there is something wrong with my .vimrc file.
I was having the same issue, and one of the answers in here helped me, but not for the reason explained so I thought this might be useful for others.
Some plugins might depend on the version of vim, and may work in version 7 but not in version 8, when you install MacVim this could be version 8, and the terminal vim version might be 7, both will use the same .vim folder and .vimrc to load the plugins and configuration, when you open the vim from terminal it might still work because the plugins were depending on vim version 7, but when you try to execute MacVim it will try to load the plugins using version 8 and then it will crash, the reason some of the answers worked it's because they are replacing the system vim, therefore MacVim and vim will be in the same major version, if you have upgraded from the previous version the best you can do it's to clear up the plugins folder and then load MacVim or vim and check that everything is working, then start applying the plugins one by one checking that they are not breaking vim. At least with this method I found that one of the plugins was not working as expected and removing it solved the "MacVim" issue.
In summary:
- move your .vim as .vim_bak
- move your .vimrc as .vimrc_bak (suggested by #hai feng kao)
And test if this solves the issue, if that's the case then a plugin is breaking your installation and you will need to activate some and figure out which is the one that causes the issue.
Hope this helps to others, I've followed a lot of these recommendations without success until I decided to upgrade vim (terminal) and this started to break as well, that pointed me in the right direction.
Again hope this saves some hours for some.
I had the same symptom with MacVim launching with no window and command-N doesn't start any a new one. brew re-install didn't help.
It turned out there was another instance of macvim installed on my system somehow, in the Downloads folder. I found out by clicking "MacVim" --> "About MacVim" and it was a version from 2014. I found the instance and deleted it.
I created an alias for the newly installed version and copied that into Applications folder so spotlight search can find the new one. That solved my problem.
I had this problem upon updating from MacOS 10.12.5 to 10.12.6.
I uninstalled MacVim by moving it to the trashcan and downloading it again.
I would guess that the new version fixed whatever issue it had with the new operating system.
I want to debug some network bug with my application ,I found a way to create rvi to trace, But I even can't finish step 1 :
rvictl -s
-bash : rvictl: command not found
what should I do ?
I follow the site:

help! thanks
Mavericks and beyond: You need to install XCode from the App Store, and then you need to launch XCode once, and accept installation of additional tools. Restart your terminal. Good to go.
I found the solution here.
In summary, the link above explains that the issue may stem from installing Xcode without installing the additional components.
Check rvictl is installed by looking for the /usr/bin/rvictl folder. If it does not exist, then rvictl is not installed. To install the packages, open your application folder through finder, right click on the Xcode app, and follow the path below to find the items which need to be installed manually:
Xcode.app/Contents/Resources/Packages/MobileDevice.pkg
Xcode.app/Contents/Resources/Packages/MobileDeviceDevelopment.pkg
Restart your terminal and.... Voila !! it should work now.
CATALINA UPDATE.
Based #KarthicRaghupathi's comments. the rvictl location was changed in Catalina. The rvictl file is now located at /Library/Apple/usr/bin.
The rest of the process stays the same as above.
I'm using macOS Catalina and Xcode 11, Could able to find rvictl file in /Library/Apple/usr/bin. but still got the same error
-bash : rvictl: command not found
Tried all provided solution nothing worked for me. Adding sudo saved me,
sudo rvictl -s [DEVICE UDID]
[or]
sudo /Library/Apple/usr/bin/rvictl -s [DEVICE UDID]
This may help some one.
You need to install the Command Line Tools for Xcode, available here:
https://developer.apple.com/downloads/index.action?name=for%20Xcode%20-#
That includes the rvictl program.
It seems like default location and installed location of rvictl on Catalina are different.
rvictl should be installed by Xcode. Look for it at path: /Library/Apple/usr/bin/rvictl. The default shell has /Library/Apple/usr/bin/ in its path, either customise it or provide full qualified path i.e
/Library/Apple/usr/bin/rvictl -s 00008020-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Source: https://forums.developer.apple.com/message/392193#392193
When you say: the command line tools for 10.10 apparently do not include the rvictl program - I get the error message: command not found
You need to see the comment above: Mavericks and beyond: You need to install XCode from the App Store, and then you need to launch XCode once, and accept installation of additional tools. Restart your terminal.
It will then appear.
After installing Xcode 4.0.2, I get this error when I try to launch it by double-clicking on an existing project:
Dyld Error Message:

Launching Xcode via the dock and opening the project from inside Xcode works fine. Also note that doing a repair install of Xcode did not resolve the issue. I haven't tried completely uninstalling Xcode and installing from scratch, but I would prefer to avoid that as I have my IDE nicely customized the way I like it.
Update: I just tried a complete uninstall of Xcode via sudo Developer/Library/uninstall-devtools --mode=all then rebooted and reinstalled. Still having the same issue.
Before you reinstall, make sure your project file is set to open with the expected copy of Xcode 4. Select it in Finder, press Cmd-I, and make sure the Open With... popup is set to the right copy of Xcode 4.
According to the discussion below, the problem is that it is not in the /Developer/Applications/ folder. However, I think that is just a clue to the source of the problem, because Xcode is supposed to work in multiple locations. It is possible that Xcode sets fixed paths when installed and can't be moved. Did you happen to move it after installing?

It is the ALIAS that is busted, not Xcode. If you reinstalled Xcode, you should make a new alias for your Dock or Desktop or wherever. Delete the old alias as it is no good any more.
Xcode (should) install in /Developer . You can get to that by going to your hard drive named something like "Macintosh HD". Make a new alias from there.
