I downloaded new XCode 11 today and when I am trying to open my project, XCode will always crash. Does anyone else experience this problem ? I have provided part of crash log. It's IDE related problem, but I would be really glad, someone has a solution to this.

I have deleted caches in library, derivated data, even disabled automati signing, but none of these work, also /Library/Caches/com.apple.xbs does not exist.

Perfect. Thanks a lot! My project was fine when I shutdown and today crashes for the select tab crash. Deleting the workspace worked unfortunately I had already deleted the userdata whicch did not help. Now to recreate the schemes that I had set up. ;(

I had the same issue and used git status to check the modified files and found a file that was not expected to be modified:

modified: <PROJECT_NAME>.xcworkspace/xcuserdata/tonyayoub.xcuserdatad/xcdebugger/Breakpoints_v2.xcbkptlist

I checked out this file to undo any changes and this resolved my issue:

git checkout <PROJECT_NAME>.xcworkspace/xcuserdata/tonyayoub.xcuserdatad/xcdebugger/Breakpoints_v2.xcbkptlist

That's why deleting the whole xcuserdata folder as others suggest also resolves the issue.

To access xcuserdata, right click on xcworkspace(xcodeproj if it is absent) -> show package contents.

What worked for me:

delete xcuserdata folder within the xcworkspace package
Open (or create & open) another project, this worked for me
Clear recents
[important] Open *not* the folder but the MyApp.xcodeproj file

This happened to me in the past and I believe one of the previous solutions worked for me. And then it happened again today and this time the culprit was the user interface state. I checked out a previous version using Git and it fixed the issue. Previous to the crashing, Xcode had been acting odd–I couldn't access the menu bar or dock and when I used Expose to show all app windows, Xcode got stuck in a minimized state, yet the UI was still interactive. I rebooted and the crashes started occurring.

Open xcode, go to preferences and resign in to my user solved the issue

What worked for me was simply navigating to the project via finder and double clicking on the .xcworkspace file. Opening via XCode's "open" menu did not work. I had also signed out of all of my accounts but I don't think that was what did it, because I still can't open the project via XCode's open menu or start menu shortcuts.

The issue seems to revolve around desktop auto-sync with iCloud Drive. When I placed the project folder outside of the synced area, it worked fine. As a temporary solution, I have disabled iCloud Desktop sync for now.

@Apple: This is something that needs fixing!

I hope this information helps somebody.
