I have already searched in the shortcuts in the Xcode preferences but I couldn't find a way to get it back.

Xcode 11 and 12: Click the "plus" button at the top, left of the "Show/Hide Code Review" button. Alternatively, use "View > Show Library" or hit Shift-Cmd-L.

Xcode 10: Click the "square in a circle" button at the top, left of the "show standard editor" button. Alternatively, use "View > Libraries > Show Library" or hit Shift-Cmd-L.

    From the release notes: "Library content has moved from the bottom of the Inspector area to an overlay window, which can be moved and resized like Spotlight search." – Gereon Sep 29 '18 at 15:46

    ... and which disappears whenever you add just 1 object to your storyboard. So good luck building complex views from scratch people!!! &@#ing Apple... – Red Nightingale Jan 07 '19 at 04:35

    When you use Cmd-Alt-Shift-L to open the Library, the window stays open. – Gereon Jan 07 '19 at 07:57

Check to see if it is buried under some other window - particularly if you've dragged xcode to a different monitor. The library shows up on the monitor that xcode was opened onto, and it won't appear atop something like a full screen video playback.
