Couldn't load a xcode project because it is already opened from another project or workspace

Question

I have a project that has one target dependency. The target dependency is dependent on a framework called Three20.

The dependency tree looks like this.

Answer 1

Had the same problem in a case where I got a workspace working, closed it, copied the containing folder to a USB drive, then reopened. I got that message for one of the projects in the workspace. Closed, tried again, removed/re-added project - no luck. Closed, tried to open the project alone and got the message about it being open in another workspace - not true. Quit XCode, restarted by double-clicking my workspace in Finder, and all went well after.

Answer 2

I had the exact same problem. Quitting the xcode completely and opening it up again worked.

Answer 3

I have close the Xcode completely but IT didn't work. I have killed the procces and It did finally!!! :-)

Answer 4

Quitting Xcode alone didn't work for me. What I did was:

1. File->Close Workspace/Project on every open workspace.
2. Xcode->Quit
3. Open Xcode again and open troublesome workspace

Answer 5

I had same problem. Fixed after updating of cocoa pods with pod update command.

Answer 6

Restart the computer and try again opening the project :)
