I have been trying to download Xcode 13.1 on the new 16" MacBook pro-2021, with iOS Monterey and it keeps getting stuck at the very end. I have tried restarting and redownloading it on my computer, but it keeps getting stuck. Is anyone else having this issue? There should be no reason that Xcode won't run on the new M1 Pro chips, so I am wondering if it is an issue with iOS Monterey.
TIA!
same exact problem using a 2021 14 inch m1 pro. Tried to use app store to update xcode to 13.2.1 or something, and now it's stuck "installing" in launchpad. I tried deleted the xcode app and also Alt and clicking X, then shutting down, but cannot get it to stop trying to install. In AppStore in xcode page there's a spinning circle but no stop button in the middle.
I have the same problem on a MacBook Air M1 with Monterey (12.1) ... AppStore download completes but then the spinner keeps spinning forever.
Its gotta be macOS Monterey. I have a 2020 MacBook Pro 13 (Four Thunderbolt) This one has an I7 Intel chip in it, so it's not the M1 thats causing the issue.
have run into the very same issue... MBP 13inch 2020 with M1 and 12.2 freshly installed. First Xcode didn't get installed at all off the App Store but with the downloaded xip it worked - however uploading to App Store Connect never finishes. I've also tried to only export and upload via Transporter. Interestingly enough this works but results in "Invalid Binary" errors in TestFlight. This whole mess renders my complete dev workflow effin useless.... 😫
Having this problem with Xcode 13.3. Quit the app store, threw away the Xcode app, and restarted the app store. Now I am seeing a progress circle, and it is progressing, though pretty slowly.
Ticked me off: I was all ready to code when this happened.
I managed to cancel the installation somehow (MacBook Pro M1 - Monterey)
First I moved Xcode to bin (not sure why it was already installed in the first place, when the install never finished and I was installing on a new machine).
Then in launchpad I pressed and held the Xcode icon, and after a while closed it with the X icon. I think I had to do it twice, but in the end I got rid of the neverending installation.
For anyone who's like me been searching for a way out of this absurd situation. The solution is to force quit the 'installed' process from the activity monitor. It's a root process and only quitting it won't work, you have to force quit it.
This effectively stopped the never ending loop of "installing" Xcode. It's now back to the cloud icon of redownloading in the app store.
It's insane that this is an official Apple product (their main development platform) and it's bugged at the very early stage of installation (bugging your whole system in the process, by pegging the CPU cores endlessly). Oh and mind you this is on the latest 14" M1 Pro MacBook Pro (again, their own hardware) with the latest version of Monterey at the time of writing this comment.
When people told me Xcode is giant mess of bugs and frustrations I didn't believe them. Well, now I most definitely do.
Moral of the story: don't install Xcode from the App Store (or don't install it at all if you can afford).
UPDATE: after going through this whole process, if you want to redownload Xcode from the App Store (I did try it) you can, and the spinning wheel was there again. But this time it resolved after a few minutes and the application was successfully installed. But I purposely tried to keep the laptop awake the whole time. I think if your laptop goes to sleep in the middle of this process, it causes the installer to bug and spin indefinitely.
1: For a quick fix install DaisyDisk or any other app that can easily tell the size of the SSD folders go to private
2: keep looking folder with the 12GB size above you can have the copy of the Xcode download from the App store and make a copy of it xxxx.pkg to your desktop below is mine
3: Use Activity Monitor to cancel the pending install process (Force Quit) note this will automatically delete the downloaded Xcode file from the App store so open the copped file to confirm if it Xcode before (Force Quit)
4: Now open the copy of the Xcode file in Step 2 to start the new installation process
Set the clock to your current timezone and try again.
