yes, calm down. It’s developer list for God’s sake

I didn’t have any intentions to insult anybody

but, if you want to be insulted - be insulted, I really don’t care

20 min, WOW! 20 MINUTES !!!!

that is just unspeakable terror :-))))))

I don’t see any of terrible things you described (and just for your information I started to work with Xcode

from day one it was released many years ago)

as about “3 bounces” I hope you understand difference between the very first Xcode run

and second run

cheers

Calm down?  That's pretty insulting.  The reporter just wasted 20 minutes of their day waiting for Xcode to simply launch.

The experience was just like my 16 minute commits through Xcode to a Collabnet SVN server.

Forced our team to purchase 3rd party source code tools.

Even installing Xcode 6.0.1 took several minutes before it launched on my brand new work MBP.

Makes me remember the old OSX claim of every app launching within 3 icon bounces as a user experience goal.

This new process that causes atrocious first launch times from a company that is supposed to be all about user experience just shows how that very company misses the boat.

The intention here is for the readers not to view this as ranting. The goal is to bring attention to the issue in the interest if getting it fixed so we don't have to live with such a sub par experience.

I installed Xcode 6.1 on my Mac Book Pro 10.9.5, my Mac Pro, iMac, Virtual machine images (Mavericks and Yosemite) many times starting from betas. Every time I saw that info widget about verifying, but every single time it was visible for about 30 seconds
I'm sorry to hear that you had such a bad experience, but there is no need to scream

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.
