Xcode won't start after first launch?

Tags:

xcode

I recently installed Xcode and after closing out of the first launch (because I realized I had more configuring to do). I cannot get it to re-launch. The icon will come up, but no program will show up. I do not get an error, and I am launching from the /Developer folder (not /Applications). I have tried re-installing/restarting multiple times to no avail. I have the latest version, and I am running Snow Leopard (10.6.6).

Are you new to OS X? It sounds like you are describing the way OS X apps normally start up. By default, Xcode pops up a window with a list of most recent projects, but you can switch this off. It doesn't mean that Xcode isn't running, it just means you don't have any Xcode windows open. You can still select any of the usual menu items to start new projects, open existing projects, etc.

The answer to this problem is I believe easily sorted. Once you open X code and all you get is the menu bar at the top, go to Window, Welcome to x Code, then check the box bottom left hand corner of that screen 'Show this window when Xcode launches'

Job done ! Now every time you hit the Xcode icon where ever it is the welcome screen will open and from there you can proceed into the program.
