Xcode 9 enable Server fails because "xcsd" keychain password


Only working solution for me:

  • Backup the folder /Library/Developer/XcodeServer/
  • Remove it
  • Activate Xcode Server

Keep in mind that the new Xcode server doesn't have hosted repositories anymore, so if used them, they are in the HostedRepositories folder. You have to move them to a different service (eg. github).


I tried all of the above... however the only thing that worked for me was resetting the entire server with this command. Open terminal and try:

sudo /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/xcscontrol --reset

This command saved me from giving up!!


I had the same problem, and after a few hours of try and error. I think I kind of got the solution... I went to keychain access, and selected the xcsd keychain, then went to menu - edit - delete keychain 'xcsd', then after restart the issue of asking for that mystery password was fixed.
