My xCode 8 keeps freezing at startup when loading the index of the project. I have to delete the derived folder data everytime to make XCode not freezing (and thus it has to rebuild the index everytime). I always had this problem since XCode8 has released and there has not been a fix yet. The problem did not exist when I use XCode7 (even though indexing was also very slow, it did not freeze and will eventually finish).
I suspect that loading the index may take too much memory (my dev machine has 8GB of RAM). Does anyone notice the same problem and is there a solution for it?
Our company's project is decently large (around 200-300 source files).
My XCode is the AppStore public version: Version 8.0 (8A218a).
cd ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/ProjectName-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/
rm -f Index
I run into this issue, and my solution is:
Restart my Xcode, then there is no Loading index...

I am developing for iPhone using Xcode I am experiencing a weird behavior every time I update my repository.
whenever I do that Xcode memory consumptions start to climb up to 60GB!!!!
Trying to update directly from Xcode immediately starts the memory incline and it never reaches an end.
Trying to update from finder does work but again the memory consumption starts clibing in xcode.
Even closing xXcode does not help. The next time I open Xcode it starts accumulating memory until it reaches 60GB
The only solution I found for this is deleting the repository completely and checking it out again.
This works until the next time I have to update the repository.
Has anyone encountered such a problem?
Any ideas as to how to solve this?
Thanks

It is a couple of day that my xcode started to index continuously. It's really annoying because the UI locks for seconds while i'm writing. I'm going mad.
I didn't change any specific build settings. I can't recall no change that could be the cause of the problem
My project as 130 classes. I'm using cocoapods and my pod file contains 20 pods.
I tried to reboot xcode and clean up the project without notice no improvements.
I have a macbook pro with SSD disk. 8GB of RAM
The indexing is slow when the system is not using swap memory and the cpu is 20-30% used.
Any ideas?
I use both Xcode 4.6 and Xcode 5.0 for my work. Of late I have observed that it has become very slow. If I open two projects in two windows, switching from one window to another takes way too long. This slowing down is specific to only Xcode as other apps run just fine.
Any insights into how to fix it?
PS: its not related to derived-data or archives. its slow even after emptying both.
Voila. Its working fine now. I don't see any slow-down while context switching between two Xcode windows or working within Xcode in general.
I found 2 main culprits for Xcode slowing down.
1) IDESubversion plugin. I guess this got added from Xcode4.0 onwards. I turned it off.
Here's how to do it:
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/PlugIns/IDESubversion.ideplugin
Rename IDESubversion to something like IDESubversion-disabled. Keep extension unchanged.
CAUTION:Please note that I do not use Xcode provided subversion as it is a real CPU and RAM hog. I use Versions. If you use the Xcode provided subversion control, you should not do this step.
2) Delete project.xcworkspace file. In Finder, right-click on YourProjectName.xcodeproj
Select "Show Package Contents" and delete project.xcworkspace.
After doing these two things, my Xcode runs just fine. No slowdown whatever.
PS: RAM is not the root cause in everything that causes a computer to slow down (since most comments suggest that). Even in Xcode3, the in-built subversion used to be a CPU hog to the point of being a nuisance.

I found this link helpful in coming to above conclusion:

I've been having issues lately with the latest version of Xcode 5. About a minute or so after launching CPU usage and Real Memory usage skyrocket. I've seen CPU usage as high as 400% and RAM usage as high as 13GB.
I'm on an i5 iMac with 16GB of RAM.
I've tried uninstalling Xcode and reinstalling, running all Mountain Lion upgrades, fixing recurring header loops, launching Xcode without indexing and a few other issues all to no avail. I'm now at a loss as to what I can do.
I would love suggestions of things to try. I've tried running my project on other i5 iMacs and I don't have this issue.
Thanks everyone.
I had this exact problem over the weekend with my Macbook Air and Xcode5. I tired resetting Xcode back to default, deleting the iOS simulator files, etc.
I've isolated it to it being the Source Control functionality in XCode. The high CPU usage doesn't seem to happen when the affected Project is not open, (Close everything and start a new Xcode project). I've disabled Source Control within XCode and and started using GitX instead, and CPU levels for XCode has dropped back to normal levels (5 - 15%).
I haven't dug deeper into XCode to see what could have triggered it.
I was running at 120% - beachball almost constantly - while idle.
What dropped me down to 1.3% was unchecking "Refresh local status automatically" in the "Source Control" tab in Xcode Preferences.
You can still have "Enable Source Control" and "Refresh Server Status Automatically" and "Add and remove files automatically"
I have actually figured out the cause of this memory issue in the source that I have, it was because one of the 3rd party library used was giving a lot of warnings and may be xcode is trying to do some processing around that. Just for test purpose, I removed the library and some of the classes which used that, and I was able to build the code faster. Now I plan to get to the bottom of the warnings and try to fix it. Not sure if all the people facing these issue is because of this but this was definitely the reason for my problem.
I've submitted a couple bug reports regarding this and while debugging it we came to a conclusion it seems to happen with upgraded projects. By simply removing all the classes from my project then reading them I no longer experience the horrible cpu usage and ram usage. This was primarily happening on 5.0 with my storyboards prior to simply removing them and re-adding them to the project. Xcode 5.0.1 also helped my performance.
*UPDATE
Since updating to Xcode 5.0.2 I no longer see these issues. I can finally work on large storyboards again.
Did you try to access many libraries at the same time or did you run a search trough out the system regarding a Xcode file or a project?This could sometimes bring the issue you have.running so many functions in xcode at the same time can bring these type of problems.if you can reinstall xcode after taking a backup of the data you need.
I just experienced similar issues with xcode after an update yesterday.
My memory on a 16GB macbook pro just dried out every time I opened xcode from 11-12gb of free ram to somewhere between 3-4gb with or without any projects open. I tried deleting the DerivedData folder to no avail.
The only solution that I have found that fixes the issue temporarily is for me to let xcode eat all the memory after starting and then doing a sudo purge in terminal.
After the purge I can work as normal with xcode with any projects using only as much ram as it needs to, but this needs to be done every time I start xcode.
This should not create any Issues with the NDA as I am not asking anyone to reveal any functionality of the application, I have asked on the Developer Forums, but They dont have the user base or the response speed of StackOverflow.
I have been working with XCode for a while now. And other then these issues, I REALLY LIKE the new xcode. I will (when these issues are resolved) recommend this application to all iOS/OSX developers.
Anyhow.
I am currently developing iOS applications. And am Running this setup on Mac OSX 10.7.1 (Lion)
Issue 1:
If I use the Interface builder it will first of all stay open even after I navigate away from it and it is no longer visible or to my knowledge "running". After a while it will consume more then 4 gigs of active memory. I will have the activity monitor open and Will eventually have less than 20megs left of free memory. I upgraded my MacMini to 8 Gigs of memory and at this point it will get down to about 200 Megs of memory left and will eventually release the memory that IB had held onto. If I do not open IB in XCode 4 it tends to use a lot less memory. (adding 8 gigs of memory makes this memory leak a lot less of a problem)
Issue 2: (MOST ANNOYING, HOPING FOR A FIX TO THIS ONE MOST)
This one only currently happens on one of the Three machines I code on. And what happens is while programming if I [Run] the app it will work for a while. Then at some point through the process it will begin to Lock Up when I press Run or Command-R. If I save the code file and run. It will not lock up. However if I forget to save, It will not only lock up. But will force me to terminate the XCode app, and Subsequently Recode everything that I had edited since the last save and the Application Run. This is by far the most annoying bug I have encountered this far.
Issue 3:
This bug happens more and more often the longer the application and operating system has been running. Running into the iPad will give me a number of Errors including "Unable to Connect to Debugger" or "Finished Successfully" among others. But the important part of this issue is that the application will never get sent to the iOS device. It will compile and say it finished. But there will be a error in the output pane.
I hope others have encountered these errors and Hopefully there is a quick fix with config files or something that will make development a lot more convenient. Thanks to anyone for resolution to any of these issues.....
EDIT
I finally received an email from apple support. I have emailed them off a Capture from XCode 4 and will hopefully hear something from them. Or maybe they will just release a new beta. Either way I hope to get this resolved asap.
For issue #2 you might want to try auto-saving your code before runs. See XCODE auto save code when build and run? instructions. Not sure if these instructions will work for 4.2 but you get the idea.
I had issues with my Xcode 4.2 install crashing initially. Re-running the installer over the already installed Xcode 4.2 fixed them. Obviously I don't know what the underlying issue with the install was, but although the first install reported installation was successful, obviously it wasn't. Perhaps worth trying.
When a newer version of Xcode 4.2 becomes available to you (cough), you might want to see whether installing that one fixes the problem. Perhaps given the issues, you should try uninstalling the previous version first rather than installing over the top?
Do you use multiple windows? They are anathema to Xcode 4. If you persist in your heresy, it may corrupt some files, and slow itself down. You will see a lot of beachballing, and it will be in some sort of GC.
You can work around this by deleting a workspace-specific file hidden inside your project. (I will have to look up which one, if this describes your case.)
With the new Beta GM Release they have seemingly fixed the issue with the Hanging.
Thanks for the Answers. Ill +1 anyone who helped but ultimately it was apple that fixed the issue.... For now
