Xcode server is already running…can't stop it!

I have two copies of Xcode on my machine: Xcode 9.1 and beta 9.2. I have tried at one point to use Xcode server, but decided against it for now so I remember turning it off.


One of my problems is that my project rebuilds and rebuilds over and over and so even though I have the top of the line MacBook Pro 15 maxxed out, it runs like molasses on my projects. I looked in Console and saw that (com.apple.xcsnginx[739]): Service exited with abnormal code: 1 was constantly crashing. As in every few seconds over and over and over.


So I go into Xcode prefs and it says:

Xcode Server is already running

Your computer is already configured to run Xcode server and this version of Xcode is not compatible.


Okay… so I quit Xcode 9.1 and open Xcode 9.2 beta. It says:

Xcode server not yet configured.


Hm.


So now I have a situation where Xcode server is crashing every few seconds, Xcode 9.1 tells me its running but can't stop it…and Xcode 9.2 says its not configured.


Any tips?

Hey Alex I had the exact same issue and manage to get around it by removing the Xcode Server files located in /Library/Developer

It works. Thanks!
