Did anyone faced the issue with XCode after the Big Sur Beta update. Also, Mac is getting too hot.

XCode Slow After Big Sur update
Yeah. I just installed it and the compiling takes like for ever. even a "HelloWorld" takes like 20-25 sec. MBP 2020
It's terribly slow. I am on a 2016 MBP 13" (2x2GHz, 8GB RAM). We're talking about over 10-15 minutes for a very simple app. Good thing my M1 MBA 13" arrives tomorrow.
Xcode 12 is BIG. Its possible your hard drive is almost full, so the OS has to compress your SWAP space, which really slows things down.
So check your disk free space. 500 GB SSDs are not that big.

Same here, updated to Big Sur yesterday and now everytime I build or run from Xcode it freezes the computer for a couple of seconds so it's totally unresponsive. I have MacBook Pro, 13", 2019, 2.4 GHz, i5, 16 gb RAM.
My laptop took a big hit in performance after updating to Big Sur. Xcode is extremely slow.
Wasn't expect that since I'm running a MacBook Pro 2018, Core i9, 32GB.

So do I. Xcode is deadly slow after updating to Big Sur.
MacBook Pro 2017, under macOS Big Sur V11.0.1.

Upgrade xcode to 12.2 that is the latest version as of now when writing this post. Everything will come back to normal.
I just updated Xcode to 12.4 on MacOS 11.2 (MBP 15-inch, 2017 16GB RAM). and Xcode has been crawling ever since, simply selecting a view or a storyboard will cause Xcode to hang for 45 seconds to 2 minutes. Sometimes I can type more then 10 characters before the editor hangs for about a minute.
This is brutal, literally 2 days ago this was not an issue, just immediately after the update.
Is anyone seeing similar results? I am hoping its just the combo of versions

Same issue for me. I am on Catalina. But after updating Xcode from 12.3 to 12.4 the performance lost is heavy and everything that worked good, now ist very very slow. I hope Apple is fixing this.
Same issue for me. Updated Xcode to 12.4 and has been running slow since! Any fix for this?
I am having this same issue.
Same issue.
My simulator can't play video.

Same here, terribly slow. 70 GB free space, when Xcode builds can't barely do anything.

Hello Folks,
I find the problem. Interestingly when I check the compiling tab I found out dSYM files were taking too much time, it was 0.7 seconds on Catalina, but it takes 90 seconds in Big Sur. Then I changed Debug Information Format from DWARF with dSYM File to just DWARF and now build times are as used to be.
I hope it solves your problem

I have the same problem… it's really annoying 😕
Interestingly, I don't have problems after I turn Wi-Fi off 🤷🏻♂️ I can't always do it (i.e. when loading packages), but now I have to do it most of the time if I want to work properly.
I hope it'll help you, and I hope next update will fix this.

I occasionally have the same problem on my MacBook Pro 2019, 16Gb RAM. Most often it happens if I try to do a cold build for simulator (most of the time I use real devices). If I run top -o mem while it's happening I see literally tens of swift-frontend processing each taking ~200Mb. After about a minute or two RAM congestion wears out and it starts to behave normally. I wonder if anyone also see this?
Try this for XCode 12.4,
XCode > Preferrences... > Navigation > Navigation Style try keeping it as Open in Place. It should save your time while building the app.
Also check,
XCode > File > Workplace Settings > Select Build System as New Build System (Default)

Same, this is ridiculous. I have Macbook Pro 2019, 64gb ram 2tb. As soon as I updated from Catalina to Big Sur and then to xcode 12.5. Interface builder is extremely slow even just renaming views it loads. Code was building everytime, but solved by unchecking "show live issues" in preferences -> general. Very hard to write code efficiently because of this. so sluggish for no reason.
Just updated to Big Sur, and tried to re-install Xcode. Same issue, it's like molasses. Builds that took 5 minutes are now up to a hour. This is not fixed yet.
Same problem here, MacBook Air ~2015 i7 8gb ram, all was ok until the update to Xcode 13, now even I close Xcode, the swift-frontend process still in background consuming tons of gb of ram..like 50gb!! i can’t update my app to fix all the layout problems that iOS 15 made on..
