Basically every time I open the preferences window and then click on one of the tabs (accounts, behaviors, etc...) Xcode crashes. Running macOS 11.0.1. This occurs in Xcode and Xcode-Beta. Did not find any similar posts mentioning this issue but I thought I'd ask in case there was anyone else running into this.

Unfortunately, this isn't of any help. But I am seeing a very similar problem after updating to Big Sur. Xcode crashes immediately from Preferences when trying to access the Git subtab under Source Control, or when trying to add a GitHub account under Accounts. Very frustrating.

Well, I read elsewhere that this only happens when the window is on a secondary display. I moved mine back to my main MacBook display and I was able to switch to the Git tab without a crash.

Hope that helps!
