Hey guys,

so When I run my code on Xcode or swift playground My computer CPU Usage uses more than 500% CPU and heavy heat starts battery goes down fast(like normally 3 min 1 percent when CPU's up 1 min 1 percent)

not only at Xcode happens at too many places.

What uses my CPU?:
Xcode: syspolicyd (500%+) CPU Usage
When I unzip file on xip: 500%+ (AUHelperService)
when I install smth: installd 300%+
and yesterday YouTube used 100% CPU.

Apple Tech. Help Service said that's normal.
I mean HOW?!
Do you guys having this troubles?

Which Mac ? Which OS ? Which Xcode version ? How much RAM available ?
Please provide such context information.

Problem seems linked to code verification bt the gatekeeper. And verifying Xcode is very resource intensive

I tried to contact but they said ask to forum so
MacBook Pro 13 inch 2020 BigSur
8GB Ram 2133 MHz
latest version of xcode

I even talked with the tech guys on apple help service,
they said there is no problem but how then why is it uses 500% CPU, when normally it has to use lower than 100?

NO.
When the Mac is equipped with multicore CPU, it can be greater than 100%. And your MacBook Pro surely has multicore CPU.
