Step 1. Install Apple Xcode

Programs to open XCCONFIG file
Remember to download programs supporting XCCONFIG files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Apple Xcode with XCCONFIG files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the XCCONFIG file still does not use the Apple Xcode program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the XCCONFIG file with the Apple Xcode application.
Step 3. Update Apple Xcode to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Apple Xcode program with the Apple Xcode Configuration Settings file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Apple, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the XCCONFIG file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The XCCONFIG file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the XCCONFIG file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file XCCONFIG or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected XCCONFIG file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the XCCONFIG files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged XCCONFIG files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Apple, Inc.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted XCCONFIG files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. 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 XCCONFIG file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the XCCONFIG file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
