Dashcode crashing with Lion

Yeah I am having the same problem. I believe it's because you have to upgrade the Xcode developer tools in the Mac App Store as well once you install Lion. I am downloading Xcode 4.1 right now and will let you know what happens.

Your right it was a huge file but I just got it downloaded and installed. I launched dashcode the first time and it crashed trying to open one of my projects (probably cause I clicked restore previous windows) but when I launched it again it worked fine. Hope it works the same for you.

I upgraded to Lion and also installed the new developer tools. Unfortunately, the problem still exists with Dashcode beach balling after start up.

* I checked disk permissions (all fixed, but no difference to dashcode not responding).

* I reinstalled the developer tools (still didn't fix it).

The only thing that I have not done at this point is to perform a clean deinstall of the developer tools

and reinstall from there. If that doesn't work then I will be looking for further assistance from the forum 🙂

I'll let you know how it goes.

Ok, I have looked to make a clean uninstall of the devtools package to make sure there is nothing that could be interfering with the execution of Dashcode. I ran the following command and after it completed, I performed a reboot on the system.

sudo /Developer/Library/uninstall-devtools -mode=all

This does not fix the problem. I still have dashcode "not responding", when I'm trying to run the program.

Any other thoughts?

Adding a new user and running dashcode in the new users context works for me. But this is only a workaround. Any thoughts about what preference files etc. need to be deleted in the old users profile to fix this problem?

I went to the Mac App Store and clicked to install the 4.1 Xcode. After a long time it said it was done, and it now reads "installed". But when I go to my Developer folder the old version of Xcode still shows up (4.0.2). When I now launch it, it errors out saying that it needs Snow Leopard.

*** Apple! Wasn't Lion supposed to be easier?

I can't find a single icon to click to update the app.

Any suggestions?

Dashcode tries to access the iPhoto library. Repair the iPhoto library fixed the problem for me.

Thanks spirou781!

That fixed the issue!!! 🙂

ℹ I used the 'option' + 'command' and held them down to start the iPhoto application.

The options I chose were rebuild:

• Small thumb nails
• Examine and repair file permissions
• Reclaim space.

Once this is complete, you should be able to run the Dashcode application successfully.

Thanks, the problem is resolved with rebuild photo library

For me the problem persist:

I have rebuild photo library and reinstalled developer tools 😟 but the problem persist!!

Any suggestions?

Could you tried check all checkbox?

All except restore from automatic backup.

Thanks! Totally worked for me. Re-built iPhoto stuff (I chose everything) and Dashcode launched smoothly. Note: My Xcode was a fresh install (4.1) from developer.apple.com
