Unable to run Xcode 6.3.2 on 10.11 Beta 2

I installed the second Beta of 10.11 and Xcode 6.3.2 has stopped running.


The icon has the circle and slash symbol over it an when I click it ...


I get the above message. There's no update listed and attempts to reinstall it from the old downloads page only results in the same error.


Any suggestions?

Have you tried the Xcode 6.4 beta?

Unfortunately Xcode 6.4 from App Store has the same problem 😟

Insert this code into the Script Editor app and then run it and Xcode will then open and you can use it as normal again!

on is_running(appName)

tell application "System Events" to (name of processes) contains appName

end is_running

set xcodeRunning to is_running("Xcode")

if xcodeRunning then

tell application "Xcode"

activate

end tell

else

do shell script "/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/MacOS/Xcode </dev/null &>/dev/null &"

end if

That's a non-sequitur. The only way you could record an App Preview video and prepare for iOS8 was to run the Yosemite beta. Its reasonable to assume Apple has the same precedent with El Capitan.

I've created a shell script that you can run once to enable you to use Xcode 6.x normally on El Capitan (i.e., clickable without having to resort to launching via the terminal everytime).


Note, you can not submit apps built on El Capitan while it's still in Beta.


Script is here: http://bit.ly/Xcode6OnElCapitan

run from terminal:

"/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/MacOS/Xcode"

a bit terrible solution, but it works without editing plst

Using Xcode 7 Beta also solves the problem.

It runs without commandline hack.
