Xcode Startup Error: The Mac OS X platform is missing

Hi everyone,

 

I have suddently started receiving this confusing and unhelpful error when trying to open up Xcode.

 

The complete error message is:

 

Title: Internal Error

File: /SourceCache/DevToolsBase/DevToolsBase-1148/pbxcore/SpecificationTypes/XCPlatformSpecification.m

Line: 424

Object: <XCPlatformSpecification>

Method: loadAllPlatforms

 

“The Mac OS X platform is missing – cannot set a default platform.”

 

 

I am left with either Quit or Continue options – trying to continue just runs in to similar errors.

 

I have absolutely no idea what’s caused this error or how to fix it. Google search indicates something about the iPhone SDK (of which I do not have installed), and deleting Plist files (which I have done and yet still have no fix).

 

I do have a /Developer/Platforms/MACOSx.platform/ folder (not sure if this is what it is trying to find though).

 

Does anyone have any advice on how to fix this frustrating error?

 

Thanks,

Andrew
