I have a weird problem with Xcode v15.4.

For some unknown reasons, it sometimes becomes a zombie process - I cannot even quit it using CMD+Q, nor can I close open projects. I have to forcibly kill the process using Activity Monitor.

The problem will mostly strike after a long time of idle time (hours or even days).

Does anyone else have this same problem? Is there known workaround?

BTW, when it becomes a zombie process, another related com.apple.dt.SKAgent process will begin consuming much CPU time forever.

Does this exhibit itself by you trying to quit it, then the "Quit" item in the menu is disabled? If so, yes, this has happened to me a number of times. I also end up force-quitting it, and I raised a bug.

I suggest you also raise a bug: https://feedbackassistant.apple.com/ then post the FB number here.

I already filed a ticket before this posting.

But I am not sure if it's publicly viewable.
