I am trying to update XCode to 13.2 on Monterey. It's stuck at "Installing 7.49GB of 7.49GB" (been for a while...). I tried rebooting the mac and and the install is still stuck.
Reported issue on Feedback assistant (number FB9808696).
What can I do?
Previous version of XCode still runs ok.
My new MacBook Air M2 was struggling with downloading and installing Xcode. The problem, I think, was that the laptop sleeps after a short period of time and that stops the download/install process. Download/install restarts at 80% or 0% when the laptop is reawakened - repeat. A simple way to avoid the laptop from sleeping is to open the Terminal application (Application/Utilities/Terminal) and type "caffeinate". That prevents the laptop from sleeping and lets the download/install process complete itself. When done type control-c into the Terminal and it will quit caffeinate.
I also had the issue on a MacBook 13" M1 and Monterey 12.6 / Xcode 14. It was a nightmare, it took me two days of countless retries!
In the console log I could see it kept failing with the following message:
[ASServiceBroker]: Connection interrupted
LaunchPad:-[LPAppManager(StoreSupport) _acceptStoreConnection:]_block_invoke app store xpc message error: Connection invalid
got event: Connection interrupted
But it was not only an issue of sleep because I was using my computer while updating. I was using VSCode at the same time, which was trying to call git, not working since packaged with Xcode which is unavailable during the update... So I stopped using the computer and did the update with the recommendations I could see on previous posts:
It was long but finally it worked!
I did not try caffeinate as recommended in previous post but it could be a good alternative to altering power settings.
Previously I also tried to restart the updating process (kill it, delete Xcode, restart, clear app store cache) but apart re-downloading 12gb it did not seem to help much!
Ventura has the same issue. Just uninstall xcode first then install it. "Quickest" solution. You will lose downloaded simulators and other stuff. But you'll save yourself days.
The AppStore update takes forever to complete. It is better to download and install Xcode from the developer portal. I also wrote a blog post about it here: https://dirkstrauss.com/xcode-stuck-updating-m1-macbook-pro/
Same situation. What I did was command + space, searched xcode, opened the application, then the installation suddenly completed itself.
Click Store->reload page.

Downloaded and installed in 1 hr! On an M1 Mac Mini ;-)
Doh! and just now 13.2.1
I saw a hint that since xcode has a huge number of files that an active virus checker can seriously impede performance. After several failues to complete I 'paused' clamav's sentry function until the install completed. Honestly, I don't that was what did it or my constant attention over a long time.
This still happens on ventura with Xcode 14.2 it is a very annoying bug that apple.. never fix.
