Can't getting solution. I will appreciate any ideas and thoughts! Thanks in advance

In what directory have you installed/copied the Xcode 6 executable to? It should be under the /Applications directory. — mmccomb, Sep 15 '14 at 12:59
It doesn't need to be in /Applications, although running it off the DMG might cause issues. @Tejas if you install Xcode rather than run from the disk image does that fix your problem? — wjl, Sep 15 '14 at 13:29
Thanks mmccomb... Your solutions works. Yes @wjl xcode installation fix my problem. — Tejas Bharambe, Sep 15 '14 at 13:45
Awesome! Feel free to type that down in the answer field so you can self-accept and mark the question as closed. — wjl, Sep 15 '14 at 14:43
Hi All @TejasBharambe - please could you explain an in-depth the answer here? I'm having the exact same issue and I've not been able to find a fix. I've got Xcode 6.0.1 installed in the applications directory from the Mac App Store download. It always hangs upon opening. The same applies for 6.1. I've got 5.1 which does work. I have uninstalled 5.1 and reinstalled 6.0.1 with the same issue. Any guidance on this would be a life saver. Also, how are you obtaining the error above? I want to see if I'm getting the same issue in the form of the Error. — amitsbajaj, Oct 17 '14 at 15:42

Same error encountered while I was working with XCode 6.4 version and OS X 10.10.5.

I dont know how? and why? But I tried and searched alot for answer to resolve but I haven't found solution.

In developer forum someone answered "by restoring OS version that will remove error".

But in my case I have re installed XCode, opened the project and cleaned it. That error disappeared. This might not be a right solution but it saved my time by just re installing instead of searching for right solution. It may be helpful for someone.
