Hi,
I recently updated my Mac to macOS Sequoia 15.7.2, and then updated my Xcode packages right afterward. However, when I try to open Xcode, I receive the message:
“You can’t open the application because it is being updated.”
I contacted Apple Developer Support (software) by phone and went through their troubleshooting steps, but the issue persists. They confirmed that everything appears fine on their end.
In System Settings, both macOS and Xcode show as fully up to date. However, when I manually check in the App Store, it says Xcode needs to be updated. When I press Update, I get the following error:
“Xcode could not be installed. Please try again later.”
I’m fairly new to Xcode, but it seems there may be an incomplete update or verification loop preventing the installation from finishing properly.
Could you please advise on how to resolve this so I can open Xcode again?
