Xcode hung on 'waiting for other symbol processing'

It appears that since I updated my iPad to iOS 5.01 I can't debug it via xCode.

When I attach the iPad both Xcode and the organiser display "waiting for other symbol processing" which shows indefinitely.

Does anyone have any idea what I can do to fix this?

Solution

  • Not sure if it fixes the problem every time, but this has worked for me in the past:

    1. Quit out of Xcode,

    2. Delete the .copying_lock file in /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/5.0.1 <DOUBLE CHECK THE NUMBER HERE, IT COULD BE 5.0 or 5.0.1 (abc), etc>/.

      This can be done in Terminal.app with the command:

      sudo rm /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/5.0.1/.copying_lock

    3. Run Xcode again. Now the symbol import should start right up and the "Waiting" message should be gone.

    If that doesnt work, try deleting the numbered folder itself, then restart xcode again. If that also doesnt work, reinstall xcode maybe?
