Hi there. Did you ever find an answer to this question about Xcode expand that actually resolved the issue you were having? I'm experiencing the same issue with the download file Xcode_13.2.1.xip. I have tried changing the Archive Utility preferences to "expand into the same directory as archive" after moving the file to an external drive but with no success. It still uses up all the space on my boot drive and and then hangs up. Thanks in advance.
