I've been having serious performance issues developing iOS apps since moving to Catalina.
Sometimes Xcode can take over a minute to open a small (under 4K lines) test project. Other times Xcode freezes with a spinning cursor before resuming on its own. In general it feels significantly slower than Mojave on the same MacBook Pro.
Now I'm wondering if this is a security/access issue caused by how I've configured my machine.
Instead of having everything in a single ~/Documents folder, my work files are spread across three APFS partitions:
Do I need to give Xcode extra access to these folders?
In 'System Preferences/Security & Privacy/Privacy/Files and Folders', only 'Documents' is listed under Xcode. Should I add these folders to that list? Or is there some other way/place to add them?
In general, has anyone had similar issues with Xcode on Catalina?
Specs:
using Xcode 11.6, Xcode 11.7, Xcode 12.0 GM
