Opening and Closing Projects

To open any project, choose File > Open. To open a project you’ve recently used, select the project from the File > Recent Projects menu. To close a project, you can choose File > Close Project, or close the project window.

You can have Xcode automatically remember the state of a project’s windows and restore them when you next open the project. To do so, choose Xcode > Preferences, click General, and select “Save window state” in the Environment options. If this option is disabled, opening a project displays only the project window. If this option is enabled, opening the project restores the project window and any other open windows to the state they were in when you last closed the project.
