Xcode 4 missing drop down lists in Build Settings

Question

I\'m using Xcode 4 and in Build Settings all drop down lists have gone away.

Instead of the drop down lists, I have text boxes.

See this image, for example:

Some random ideas:

1. Try deleting / then re-set the setting.

2. Maybe your xcode project file .xcodeproj is dirty. You should give a look at its xml file > xxxxxx.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj

3. You did something bad to your Xcode install, reinstall/upgrade :)

4. Check your Xcode settings/preferences/garbage files (move / delete to reset...) which you can find there :

   • ~/Library/Preferences/ > com.apple.Xcode.plist & com.apple.dt.Xcode.plist
   • ~/Library/Application\ Support/Developer/Shared/Xcode
   • ~/Library/Application\ Support/Xcode/
   • ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/
