I’m attempting to install the Metal toolchain in Xcode, but the installation keeps hanging. Through Xcode, it stops at the “Processing” step, and via the terminal, it never goes past “Beginning asset download…”.
Metal Toolchain Not Installing
Hi. Thanks for asking. I'm using Xcode Version 26.2 (17C52) on macOS 26.2 (25C56) and I was able to successfully install the metalToolchain component using the command you show in your question above and the the commands on this page.
Maybe try downloading and installing separately (there are directions on the page above). Also, have you tried on a different network?
As my colleague said above, see if a different network works for you. I have some additional network-level debugging info posted in this other thread that you can try. Let us know the results!
