It’s inside /Developer/Applications/Xcode.app/… so yes it’s most probably part of Xcode .. … but a very old version. You still have things in /Developer? Xcode.app moved from /Developer to /Applications around err .. a long time ago. I don’t even have a TimeMachine backup goes back that far. > 2. Should I delete it from my machine? Is it malicious? Since it’s being ignored then it’s probably not dangerous even if it were malicious and it’s probably not malicious Do you need whatever is in /Developer/Applications any more anyway? Sounds more like it’s an old mdimporter from a very old version of Xcode which is no-longer needed so Apple blacklisted it so it doesn’t spin up resources doing nothing useful. > 3.
