Hi all,
Just installed the new Xcode 4.4 upgrade through the App Store today and it keeps crashing when I run build. I have tried several different bits of code in case that was the problem, but everything crashes. Have sent the error logs to Apple, but wondered if anyone else has this issue?
Have deleted 4.4 and re-installed the previous 4.3 version which runs fine.

Xcode 4.4-OTHER, Mac OS X (10.7.4), Running on 15" MacBook Retina
I upgraded to Mountain Lion today and XCode 4.4. Simulator keeps crashing when I try to run my project and hangs XCode too,
Haven't found anything on web to fix this.
Hello Everyone,
Xcode 4.4 Crashing
I was runing OS X Lion 10.7.4 with Xcode 4.3.3. This ran fine and I could build and run the iOS simulator fine. I then decided on Wednesday the 23rd July to upgrage Xcode to version 4.4. From that point on when I build and run with the iOS simulator as a target, Xcode 4.4 crashed.
I then upgrated to OS to Moutain Lion 10.8 with Xcode 4.4 still installed. Exactly the same happened Xcode 4.4 would crash regardless of project or user profile.
After reading Simon (from Harrogate) comments I decided to unistall Xcode 4.4 and clean up the residual with MacKeeper.
My intentions were to go back to Xcode 4.3.3.
After the uninstall of Xcode 4.4 I did a cold reboot and then just to see re-installed Xcode 4.4 from the App Store.
I performed a re-start and then everything worked fine.
It appears there is an incompatability between the current Xcode 4.4 and OS X Lion 10.7.4.
If you do have Xcode 4.4 installed running OS X Lion 10.7.4 and perform the upgrade of the OS to Mountain Lion 10.8 this incomatabliity appears to propogate.
Solution
Upgrate OS X to Mountain Lion 10.8.
Completely unistall Xcode 4.4 (if still installed).
Clean up and residual install with the likes of MacKeeper.
Re-boot and re-install Xcode 4.4.
Regards,
Steve
Thank you for that Steve, very useful information, which I will try as soon as I can.
Unfortunately, I am still unable to upgrade (for free as I bought one of the new Retina MacBooks) to Mountain Lion as the code PDF Apple sent will not open with the password they also sent! Very frustrating and still no reply from Apple. 😢
Stay calm, stay calm...

Hi Simon,
Hope you get it resolved.
Why do they not just give you a credit note so you can download Mountain Lion from the App Store?
Or even better, the correct password.

Hi Steve,
Well, couldn't wait any longer so I bought the Mountain Lion upgrade and then did as you suggested, now works fine. Thanks for the tip.
