I have an issue where Xcode will not launch. The blue light shows under the icon, but nothing else seems to happen. I've already grabbed the latest version from the App Store and reinstalled, didn't fix the issue. Please help.

Log shows the following (two lines only, edited for easier reading):

Jan 19 22:11:15 Jason-McClurgs-MacBook-Pro Xcode[2089]: Unable to find either a
    loadable database or a Nodes.xml configuration file

  • Have you tried deleting the contents of the~/Library/Developer folder? The downloaded documentation mentioned in your error message is stored in this folder.

It doesn't explain the root cause, but I did get the app to run, by creating a new account and starting the app under that account.

  • Did you create a new user account on your Mac, or a new App Store account?
