Whenever I hit play on my app to test it on the Mac the register .app part starts taking more than 15 minutes, this is severely impacting my work.
There's no indication on what's wrong and how can I fix this.
When I run my app for Mac on XCode register .app takes more than 15 minutes
Can you share more context or some screenshots of what you mean by registering your app? I can interpret this to mean several different things that happen during the build and deployment of an app.

It's the register application.app command
It says:
RegisterWithLaunchServices application.app
cd [into project folder]
lsregister -f -R -trusted application.app

Oh, interesting. I’d appreciate you filing a bug about this:
- Reproduce the issue.
- During the 15 minute delay, trigger a sysdiagnose per the Xcode Sysdiagnose instructions on our Bug Reporting > Profiles and Logs page.
- Include that sysdiagnose in your bug report.
Once you’re done, reply here with your bug number.
My guess is that that Xcode isn’t doing anything wrong here. Rather, there’s something weird about the state of your machine and Xcode is just an innocent victim.
If you run the lsregister command manually from Terminal, does it reproduce the issue?

It’s better to reply as a reply, rather than in the comments; see Quinn’s Top Ten DevForums Tips for this and other titbits.
although Apple is my customer on this project
I’d like to clarify what you mean by that. Please drop me a line via email (my address is in my signature). Make sure to reference this thread, because I get a lot of email |-:
