I'm using Xcode 4 and in Build Settings all drop down lists have gone away.

Instead of the drop down lists, I have text boxes.

See this image, for example:

enter image description here

I'm totally puzzled: how can I enable drop down lists again?

In Xcode:

Editor -> Show Values

It just worked for me.

Wow, spent the best part of a few days trying to resolve this exact issue. Thanks.

Some random ideas:

  1. Try deleting / then re-set the setting.

  2. Maybe your xcode project file .xcodeproj is dirty. You should give a look at its xml file > xxxxxx.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj

  3. You did something bad to your Xcode install, reinstall/upgrade :)

  4. Check your Xcode settings/preferences/garbage files (move / delete to reset...) which you can find there :

    • ~/Library/Preferences/ > com.apple.Xcode.plist & com.apple.dt.Xcode.plist
    • ~/Library/Application\ Support/Developer/Shared/Xcode
    • ~/Library/Application\ Support/Xcode/
    • ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/

  • I reinstalled Xcode 4 after uninstalling it with sudo /Developer/Library/uninstall-devtools --mode=all and I also deleted xcuserdata and project.xcworkspace, but it didn't solve the problem. – Enrico Detoma Apr 27 '11 at 21:08
  • Added a 4th idea. If it is not Xcode install nor your project the culprit, then it might be your preferences files... – Vincent Guerci Apr 27 '11 at 21:55
  • Deleting the preferences might work, but luckily there is a simpler solution by Terry Wilcox above – Enrico Detoma Apr 29 '11 at 09:18
