body: <p>This XCSDeviceService process is always on 25% CPU or more.</p>

  <p>I think it's a background service for detecting devices to test on for Xcode Server. I installed Xcode server once on my local machine to test/play around with it. Now I have a second machine for CI, so i don't need it on my local machine anymore. I uninstalled the Server app, but the Xcode services are still running all the time. Also the Xcode Server symbol in the status bar is still there: </p>

  <p>Any ideas how to stop/uninstall the Xcode services?</p>
  
  <p>I installed the server app again and setup Xcode server and turned it off again (I didn't turn Xcode off before uninstalling the server app the last time). That stops the <code>XCSDeviceService</code> only for this session. As soon as i log out and in again it restarts.</p>
