The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the XCPLUGINDATA 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
In this case, you should first verify that the Apple Xcode application is installed on the computer.

Programs to open XCPLUGINDATA file
Remember to download programs supporting XCPLUGINDATA files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Apple Xcode with XCPLUGINDATA files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the XCPLUGINDATA file to open in the Apple Xcode application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the XCPLUGINDATA file with the Apple Xcode program.
Step 3. Update Apple Xcode to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Apple Xcode program with the Xcode Plug-in Data file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Apple, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the XCPLUGINDATA file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The XCPLUGINDATA file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the XCPLUGINDATA file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file XCPLUGINDATA or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover XCPLUGINDATA files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the XCPLUGINDATA files changes over time. 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged XCPLUGINDATA files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Apple, Inc. help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file XCPLUGINDATA except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move XCPLUGINDATA to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file XCPLUGINDATA to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the XCPLUGINDATA file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
