What does this menu item mean in Xcode menu?

It's available only under Xcode 3.x. The hands-like tab between Windows and Help.
What is this tab used for?
Xcode 3.2.6
After trying by myself. It is actually User Scripts as the image shows.
And it's gone since Xcode 4 onwards.

Errors in cordova+xcode ios build

I am getting the following errors in Application Loader when trying to deliver my app(built in vs2015+cordova+remote xcode 7):
Thanks in advance.
There appears to be an issue with Cordova's iOS implementation when publishing apps created specifically using Xcode 7.
A Cordova community member has published a "cordova-plugin-ipad-multitasking" plugin with a fix.
http://npmjs.com/package/cordova-plugin-ipad-multitasking
Install this plugin and you should be all set. A future Cordova version will resolve the problem fully.
Failing that, if you are using remotebuild you can also find the native project under ~/.taco_home/remote-builds/taco-remote/builds and make the modifications as described in the Cordova bug on the issue.
EDIT:
To resolve ITMS-90339, there is a second step you can do to patch in the near term. Grab the build.xcconfig from the 3.9.x branch of the cordova-ios repo and place this under res/native/ios/cordova
Now remove this line:
CODE_SIGN_RESOURCE_RULES_PATH = $(SDKROOT)/ResourceRules.plist
Note that you will want to remove this custom build.xcconfig file if you upgrade to the version with the full patch that is forthcoming.
By default Cordova doesn't fulfill all of the requirements for multitasking support. (CB-9161) You can follow the steps on that issue to make changes directly to the iOS project for multitasking support.
Use Xcode 7 (Cordova always uses the current SDK)
Click your Project icon in the Project Navigator
Click on your Target
Select the "General" tab
Go to the "Deployment Info" section
Select the "iPad" button segment
For "Device Orientation", select all four checkboxes (Portrait, Upside Down, Landscape Left, Landscape Right)
Add a new File: Launch Screen --> "Launch Screen.storyboard"
Click your Project icon in the Project Navigator
Click on your Target
Select the "General" tab
Go to the "App Icons and Launch Images" section
Select "Launch Screen.storyboard" from the "Launch Screen File" dropdown

How did my Xcode project get changed from iOS project to an OSX project?

I've been doing only iOS development and never made an OSX app. In the iOS project I'm working on now I see that suddenly Xcode thinks it's an OSX project. The all my framework files are shown in red (missing), and lots of the options in the project panel show choices that are only appropriate for OSX such as "deployment target", which offers only 10.4, 10.5, 10.6 etc. and in Build Settings the Valid Architecture shows i386 x86_64 with no drop-down options.
What happened? How can I change this back to an iOS project?
could be 2 late to answer this question, however, this answer might help someone in the future, as the above answer wasn't helpful for me, so here is what I have done.
1- on the left top corner of Xcode click on the scheme.
2- click edit scheme
3- in the new window change "Executable" from non to the name of your project scheme "target"
4- on the top where it says "My Mac 64-bit" if it didn't changed automatically to iPhone/iPad change it manually.
5- if there wasn't any option, in bottom of the window click "Manage Schemes" and make sure the
check box next to your project scheme is checked.
hope this could help and save anyone time.
By your comment you should not have an issue navigating this.
Go to your Project (in upper left) -> Project (project name in submenu) -> Build Settings -> under Architectures menu select Base SDK and choose iOS 6.1.
This should switch your project back. Now under Info you should see your Deployment Target options have switched from saying OS X Development Target to iOS Development Target
As for why it originally changed, I have no idea. But hopefully this will fix your issue.
I know this is an old post, but this just happened to me in a project with multiple targets.
I'm using github and it had marked one of my target scheme files with a merge block at the top of the file after using a newer compiler. I could find a way to edit the scheme through XCode, but upon re-opening the project, it would be bad again.
I had to edit the file manually and complete the merge edit.
This recently happened to me with Xcode 8 where an old iOS project was turned into a dual destination macOS / iOS one.
To fix the issue I changed the Base SDK under Project -> Build Settings to Latest iOS (iOS10) and the change rippled through removing the macOS destination.
I fixed this by deleting the scheme showing issue and recreate it. This time it gets created as desired scheme type showing all the simulators and devices attached, if any.

Xcode 4 in my Mac App Store says its installed, but it's not

I can't seem to re download xcode 4 as the mac app store thinks that I already have it. I've had this problem before with another app, but could really do with a solution to this problem now as I need xcode for a new work project.
Any help anyone could offer would be much appreciated.
What you download from the app store is actually the Xcode installer, not Xcode itself. You might have the installer knocking around somewhere even if you've removed Xcode.
Execute the downloaded installer located at /Applications/Install Xcode/Install Xcode.app
Follow the steps:
Open Xcode → About Xcode ( Check the Version)
If the version is not 4.2
Search → App Store → Click on "App Store" result → Search Xcode → Click "Update Xcode
After update, it will not update Xcode automatically.
Search "Applications" → Click "Applications" folder.
Sort by "Date modified", Select Name: "Install Xcode" Size:1.81 GB Kind: Application.
Click "Install Xcode". (Follow the steps)
After Update, check the Version. It will be 4.2.1
Are you sure? See Macintosh HD/Developer/Applications

Xcode 4 organizer repository view changes says "No Version Editor"

My prior problem was this.
Now, when i see change logs and click view changes, the pop-up comes but right pane just tells "No version editor".
My search couldn't yield any solutions suitable to this. Any suggestions or solutions to this problem? Please.
My problem was gone after i installed the public version of Xcode 4.2 with iOS 5. Mine is Mac OS Leopard.
