Re: Xcode 11 unresponsive when trying to create any new project, Catalina

same here, except I can't even open existing projects XCode crashes immediatly after creating / opening a new/existing project.

Similar. Can't create anything new with Xcode 11 beta 2 using Catalina beta 2.

I can open a new project using SwiftUI but the application hangs when trying to create a new project.

Same here I can open any previous project that was opened in 10 or beta 1 that is listed in the welcome screen. I cannot open a project from navigation (Open another project) or create a new project. It seems like any call out to the finder crashes the app.

Hah - first thing, trying to reply to this thread from Firefox, is unresponsive "retreiving data...".

I had this problem, I think it might be a (new) Catalina file system access permission issue.

Here is what I suggest:

0. note the default folder that where it is trying to create your project (In my case "development")

1. rename said default folder to a different name

2. restart Xcode, try to create new folder, if you see it default to "Documents" directory and prompt for permission, you are done

3. otherwise, delete the derived data folder, restart and re-attempt

I did both these steps at once, got the prompt and it worked, but I am not sure which one was the cause, but I am suspecting a bug in not prompting for file access permisssion.  (It could further help it someone identified which of these factors fixed the problem)
