Reverting all Xcode settings to their original state
This is the officially recommended way to delta Xcode 5's preferences, type in Terminal.app:
defaults delete com.apple.dt.Xcode
That should restore Xcode to the state of its first launch.
(for older versions of Xcode the command was defaults delete com.apple.Xcode
, i.e. without the dt
in the middle).
Reset all XCode settings from command line by running following commands then restart XCode:
defaults delete com.apple.dt.Xcode
rm -rf $HOME/Library/Application\ Support/Developer/Shared/Xcode
rm -rf $HOME/Library/Saved\ Application\ State/com.apple.dt.Xcode.savedState
rm -rf $HOME/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dt.Xcode.*
