Hi everyone, I am Unreal C++ Developer and I'm using Xcode as my primary editor for my Unreal projects. Everything was fine with Xcode 7.3.1. Yesterday, I upgraded Xcode from 7.3.1 to 8.0. While opening Unreal Projects in Xcode 8, Xcode freezes at Indexing and also free space on Macintosh SSD is used up drastically by Xcode or whatever(I don't know since the SSD space is completely used up I can't even close any running applications. It just freezes). I tried,

Deleting everything in "Derived Cache/" folder and rebooting Mac
Re generating Xcode project from Unreal Editor
Emptying out build folder and started rebuilding from scratch.
Re installing Xcode 8

But nothing seems to work out. Any help would be appreciated.

My Mac Specs are,

System Version: macOS 10.12 (16A323)

Kernel Version: Darwin 16.0.0

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013)

Processor 2 GHz Intel Core i7

Memory 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

Finally Xcode 8.1 fixed the problem.

I can definitely confirm that it's still happening.

I just ran into the same problem with a very small Swift4 program using XCode 9. I was able to get the problem to go away by killing and restarting Xcode twice.
