When I try to open the Xcode Documentation inside Xcode 12 (downloaded from the app store), the whole app closes. Is anyone else seeing this

Answered by Technology Evangelist in 634294022

This affects Xcode 12 when downloaded from the Mac App Store. We're aware of the problem and we're working on a fix.

As a workaround in the meantime, documentation is available on developer.apple.com, or if necessary, Xcode 12 can be downloaded from the More Downloads area. After the next Xcode update, re-download Xcode from the Mac App Store to enable automatic updates, with smaller download sizes.

Also here. How can it be that Apple releases an IDE product where such a basic function as opening developer documentation aborts the IDE?

Where is the reply from an Apple developer or manager saying, "sorry, we'll have a patch out in a few hours?"

The same issue for me. It appears too work just after the Xcode installation, but stopped to work after the Safari update.

Use the xcode 12 zip-file from here: https://developer.apple.com/download/more/

It seems only the version from the AppStore doesn't work.

"... How can it be that Apple releases an IDE product where such a basic function..."

Not a unit test issue but cross functional testing - Safari ?
