7.2.1 stuck in "install additional required components" loop

Reinstalled 7.2 and it's works as expected.

Started xcode from the command line and got this, install additional components prompt not requiring user/pwd and still just an endless loop

CoreAnimation: warning, deleted thread with uncommitted CATransaction; set CA_DEBUG_TRANSACTIONS=1 in environment to log backtraces.

Taking a scorched earth approach. Deleted everything under \Library\Developer and ~\Library\developer and installing 7.2.1 from the DMG file from developer center

And this didn't work either

Finally got 7.2.1 to install required components by going into recovery mode disabling SIP, reboot, installing and then launching xcode. Once xcode launched sucessfully I reenabled SIP

So far so good

Nope.... this seemed to work until I actually started using xcode.

New scorched earth approach.... erase the harddrive and start over

I have deleted everything and done a fresh Xcode install; each time I lauched Xcode, it asked to installed additional required component. I guess this is a bug on the 7.2.1 version and will be fixed in next release. Besides this slight annoynance, everything else works fine.

I wonder if there is anyone who is running 7.2.1 version and does not have this issue.

I'm running 7.2.1 and don't have that issue.

I have the issue with 7.2.1 on my MBA but not on my iMac. 😕

Same issue here on a MBP and XCode 7.2.1.
