Getting Xcode 6.1 to run

Hi,

after downloading the new Xcode 6.1 manually from the Developer pages (available only days after it was actually stated as “available” there, ts), and copying it to /Applications, trying to launch it just greeted me with a window saying “Verifying Xcode.app”. And nothing more happened.

After more than 20 eventless and Xcode free minutes on my MacBookPro in 10.9.5, I decided I had enough of this nonsense. I had to reboot to get rid of this weird window.

I have no idea what is happening there, but if Apple wants to prevent us from using their Xcode software, they are hugely successful.

This is the worst user experience ever!

To prevent this nonsense, open Terminal, and clear the xattrs for Xcode, and it will actually launch:

xattr -cr /Applications/Xcode.app

Thank you Apple for such a horrible user experience.
