If you’re transitioning from Xcode 9 to Xcode 10 or later, you may find yourself wondering where the Object Library, which previously appeared at the lower right corner, has moved. This guide will provide you with straightforward steps to access the Object Library in Xcode 10 and later versions.
Accessing the Object Library in Xcode 10
-
Shortcut: Use
Shift + Command + Lto open the Object Library. - Toolbar Button: Xcode 10 introduces a new toolbar button that provides access to the Object Library.
- Menu Access: Navigate to View > Libraries in the menu bar.
The Object Library now appears as an overlay window, similar to a Spotlight search window. This window is movable and resizable, allowing you to tailor its appearance to your workflow. The library window closes automatically after you drag an item, but you can keep it open by holding the Option key before dragging.
Keeping the Object Library Open
For those who frequently use the Object Library, it can be helpful to keep it open permanently. To do so, hold the Option key while opening the library, either by pressing Shift + Option + Command + L or by clicking the Library button in the toolbar with the Option key held down. This action transforms the library into a floating window that remains open until you choose to close it manually.
Updates in Xcode 11 and 12
If you are using Xcode 11 or 12, the method to access the Object Library remains consistent with Xcode 10. Simply use the Shift + Command + L shortcut or click the plus icon on the top right corner of the Xcode toolbar.
