I'm working on a Mac mini mid 2010 with processor 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, Memory 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3, Does anyone know how to fix this and why this is happening? thanks in advance.

do you mean all the files exists in folder Show Package Contents ? — Eslam Hamdy, Jan 19 '14 at 14:31
no Library/Developer/Derived Data or so -- just google Xcode remove derived data or so — Daij-Djan, Jan 19 '14 at 14:34
i did that and it works well for a short time and the same problem occurs again !! — Eslam Hamdy, Jan 19 '14 at 14:45
when ever you have facing problem either project loading time or xcode opening time., etc — codercat, Jan 19 '14 at 15:33

You might have an autosave problem where Xcode had trouble autosaving the project that keeps crashing. Go to the following location on your Mac:

/Users/YourUsername/Library/Autosave Information

Delete anything in there related to Xcode, such as files named Unsaved Xcode Document.xcworkspace. Restart Xcode and see if that fixes it.
