I am having a problem with re-loading a specific project. The first open is good via File->Open menu. Then I quit Xcode and restart it. Now the project reloads, but the Project Navigator only shows "PROJECT NAME.xcodeproj" in red without the normal project folders/files tree. All other projects are good. I think this problem started from version 9.2.

I reported the problem at bugreport.apple.com and got a positive reply from Apple engineer:

It looks like you have encountered a known rare issue when creating your project. You can repair it by opening “swiftsandbox.xcodeproj/project.xcworkspace/contents.xcworkspacedata” in a text editor and replacing "self:/Data/Build/Xcode/sandbox/swiftsandbox.xcodeproj" with "self:swiftsandbox.xcodeproj”, that should resolve your issue.

But the bug is still active in the latest version 10.1. Hope this information can also help others who have the same problem.

The proejct is stored in /Data/Build/SOME_GIT_PROVIDER.COM/Xcode/PROJ. I did move the project recently after a fresh new install of macOS. /Data is a mount point to a disk partition.

I have the latest 9.3 (which was just installed yesterday), installed in /Applications (no exception).

BTW, I just found 2 other projects that have the same problem; but other projects are good. The projects all reside in the same top directory.
