I have recently (ie, yesterday afternoon and today) been experiencing issues with Xcode response. Often Xcode presents the beachball cursor and just hangs and must be Force-Quit.

After hours of trying different things, including an empty new project, I realized that some tasks in Xcode caused the beachball cursor, one of which was code completion.

I turned off WiFi on my MacBook Pro (details below) and Xcode worked just fine. I turned WiFi back on and then verified that WiFi was not an issue:

Websites (like this one) easily reached
Speedtest.net checks my download speed at 52.8 mbs/upload at 11.5 mbs.

As soon as WiFi was turned back on, the beachball cursor in Xcode came back.

QUESTION: Is there a remote resource at Apple that Xcode is trying reach that is having issues on 26 March 2021, approx 9:30am EDT?

Xcode 12.4
macOS 11.2.3
MacBook Pro 16" Intel Processor

In situations like this I recommend that you take a sysdiagnose log and attach that to a bug filed against Xcode. You can find official instructions for this on our Bug Reporting > Profiles and Logs page, but I generally do this with Activity Monitor. I keep it running all the time, and when an app hangs I switch to Activity Monitor and use it to generate a sysdiagnose log that’s focused on that app.

Please post your bug number, just for the record.
