XCode 11 Beta 3 - Can't add file to Project. File Dialog Freezes XCode.

I am working through the SwiftUI Tutorials and I was using the XCode Beta 2 IDE. It was working fine. When I updated to Beta 3 I noticed when I tried to add new files XCode would freeze at the file dialog window. I've tried multiple times and tried waiting for the dialog window to unfreeze and it doesn't happen. I've tried restarting my computer. I am also running the latest MacOs Catalina Beta OS.


Any fixes for this or do I just have to wait for the next update?

That's just an opinion.


I would not loose my time on this, you probably have more important things to do.


So, I would file a bug report and wait for next release (they come at a rapid pace, due to the young nature of SwiftUI).

When xcode becomes unusuable, the effect IS that you're going to lose time. Let's not get too dismissive too quickly.


I've had to switch to an entirely different (slower) machine to continue dev since this problem appeard for any and all xcode projects.


I'm still looking for a solutin myself, so anyone that has solved it, would love to hear from them.

I think I found the issue, it has to do with the new permission settings with MacOs Catalina :


Go to “System Preferences” > “Security & Privacy” now scroll to find “Full Disk Access” (I would assume also you could do this as “Files and Folders”) > Click the “Padlock Icon” to unlock the options > Enter your password > Click the + button, and add “Xcode” and / or “Xcode Beta” to this list. This should solve your issue as it did for me.


Hope this helps.
