Around 6 years ago I begun using Xcode on my MacBook Pro Mid 2010 2.4GHZ 4GB Ram.
I stopped after 12 months or so and now want to try start up again.
I'd deleted Xcode from Applications and decided to install a fresh copy.
Upon opening Playground it gets stuck on "Launching Simulator".
I decided to leave that and decided to get going with a new project.
When I build an empty project the simulator appears after a minute or two with the apple logo and progress bar. It gets to 80% each time and freezes. I quit and this message appears:
"The operation couldn't be completed. (Mach error - 308 - (pic/mig) server died)."
I've tried reset content and setting.
Force quit.
Uninstalled Xcode.
Moved Xcode to documents and then back to Applications.
Turning firewall off.
I best add that the MacBook is running very slow and has been doing over the past 12 months or so. I've considered upgrading the RAM to 8GB.
Does anyone have a fix? I've spent hours and hours and i'm getting nowhere.
