How to open PBXUSER file?
The most common problem when using Xcode Project User Data Format is that a specific PBXUSER is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open PBXUSER, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PBXUSER file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Apple Xcode
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Apple Xcode is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Apple Xcode into the system search engine.

Programs to open PBXUSER file
Remember to download programs supporting PBXUSER files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Apple Xcode with PBXUSER files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the PBXUSER file still does not use the Apple Xcode program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Apple Xcode application as the default for handling the PBXUSER file.
Step 3. Update Apple Xcode to the latest version
If, however, after binding Apple Xcode with Xcode Project User Data Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Apple, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PBXUSER file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the PBXUSER file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the PBXUSER file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected PBXUSER files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of PBXUSER file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular PBXUSER file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Apple help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PBXUSER files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the PBXUSER file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the PBXUSER file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the PBXUSER file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
