xcode 6.3 hangs when opening organizer

Question

I archived my project for adhoc deployment and it got stuck after it said archive completed.

Now whenever I click Window->Organizer Xcode freezes up. I need to save my archive for adhoc deployment but it just won't let me. I've tried restarting xcode and my macbook.

Any thoughts?

Answer 1

I don't know what was causing my xCode (6.3.1) organiser to freeze, but I manually cleared out the Archives folder and organiser returned.

rm -rfd ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/Archives/*

If, like me, you have archives you want to keep, remove individual archive folders by date order as needed and then try open organiser.

rm -rfd ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/Archives/2015-xx-xx

Answer 2

I removed all of the archives in Archives directory but the Organizer kept on hanging.

If you have too many different products (mine are over 200), Organizer shows up, then the colored wheel appears and keeps spinning forever. Move most of the directories in the ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/Products directory somewhere else, and leave the needed ones only. That fixed the hang for me.
