Xcode 11 crashes when opening the project

Did you try to restart the Mac ?

It seems there is a certificate issue. Should check in this area.

That may be related to new certificates in XCode11

Signing and Distribution

New Features

• Signing and capabilities settings are now combined within a new Signing & Capabilities tab in the Project Editor. The new tab enables using different app capabilities across multiple build configurations. The new capabilities library makes it possible to search for available capabilities. (35254597)
• Xcode 11 supports the new Apple Development and Apple Distribution certificate types. These certificates support building, running, and distributing apps on any Apple platform. Preexisting iOS and macOS development and distribution certificates continue to work, however, new certificates you create in Xcode 11 use the new types. Previous versions of Xcode don’t support these certificates. (45527608)

Quoting the Xcode 11.1 GM (9.24.19) Seed release notes:

"Fixed a crash that sometimes occurred when compiling XIB files in iOS projects that backwards deploy to iOS versions earlier than 13.0."

I have the same problem with XCODE 11.1 and XCODE 11.2. It works to open some of the projects but not all of them. Did you find a fix?

Same problem for me. Xcode 11.2.1 (on Catalina latest GA build) crashes immediately after opening a project, or trying to create a new project. Crashes occur only on my iMac, and not (for some weird reason) on my MacBook (which has the identical versions of Catalina and Xcode). Tried uninstalling completely, rebooting, disabling all Xcode extensions, etc. etc. to no avail.

(Truncated) Crash log is below (showing details of thread 10, which is the culprit here):

I have the exact same issue. Started with Xcode 11.1 and is still in 11.2 and 11.2.1 GM Seed.

I was having the same crash on XCode 11.2.1 . I went on to "Show package contents" of the ".xcworkspace" workspace directory and deleted "xcuserdata" folder. This resolved the crash for me.

I had the same problem several times. Your solution fixes the problem.

Deleting the contents of xcuserdata folder within the workspace folder only works if Xcode actually gets past creating a project / workspace in the first place. In my case, Xcode is crashing immediately each time I try to create a project—that is, never gets as far as creating the workspace and project folder on disk.

I have a similar issue. Since Catalina my main project crashes Xcode on opening.

I created a clean install thumbdrive of Catalina and it reproduces there.

I created a clean install of Mojave and there it runs no problem in the current 11.2.1 version of Xcode.

I've deleted the xcuserdata as above and tried to delete all xcode prefs on the machine.

Odd thing is that I work with another dev and he is on Catalina and does not have the issue. He installed on another machine and there again it did not crash. Really strange. I am stumpted.

"

Tried Xcode 11.3 beta tonight, running on the latest Catalina beta (10.15.2 Developer Beta 2), and Xcode still crashes a split second after clicking the Next button after selecting project type when trying to create a project. Interestingly the stack trace line "0 libsystem_platform.dylib 0x00007fff71f1bda9 _platform_memmove$VARIANT$Haswell + 169" makes it look as though some memmove optimization (?) in Catalina might be at fault here. Just guessing. Anyway, short story is that Xcode is totally useless at this point... sure would like a fix from Apple.

Same symptoms as before:

Yep, I deleted xcuserdata from the problematic project and then File > Open > myproject.xcodeproj and my project opened perfectly fine.

Digging further tonight, I'm able to launch Xcode (11.2.1 or 11.3 beta) and have it remain running as long as I don't:

- Attempt to create a new project

- Attempt to open an existing project (deleting xcuserdata makes no difference)

- Attempt to show the Accounts tab in preferences.

The moment I click on Accounts tab in preferences, Xcode will reliably crash. Crash logs (of which I have very many now) all show the same issue (shown below). Seeing the stack trace I wondered if creating new development certs for my Apple Dev ID would help, so I recreated Dev certs for both macOS and iOS and imported into Keychain Access, and deleted the old certs. Firing up Xcode and attempting any of the above 3 items causes a crash.

At this point I'm giving up. Perhaps someone at Apple will see this thread and care to investigate (?).

One last note—I notice that AppCode is unable to build, with BuildService seemingly running into the same crash (IDEEmbeddedProvisioningProfile initWithProfileRef:error:).

If there are any Apple engineers reading this, please take a serious look at this thread and provide a fix asap. At this point I can do zero development—well, zero Apple development. Perhaps it's time to learn Kotlin...?

I had the same issue as well and this solved the issue for me! Thanks a lot!

That's really frustrating. This Catalina update and Xcode 11 messed up too much. I'm getting random crashes here and there every hour as well. Anyways if you still wanna give it another try, remove everything related to XCode and Apple account from Keychain as it seems for your case it always fails when fetching your apple account profiles. Keep iCloud sync for keychains off as well.
