XCode is refusing to install. Fails with some error, and asks me to download XCode again. Also now the system needs 70-80 GB of free space to install XCode. One of the funny upgrades so far
- icedchai 3y agoThere is definitely something buggy going on there. It took 2 attempts for it to install for me! No errors, it just stopped installing somewhere around 90%. Plenty of free disks space and RAM.
- saagarjha 3y agoAre you using a XIP to install?
- icedchai 3y agoNo, I was using the App Store "update"...
- chatmasta 3y agoAre you sure it actually stopped installing? When I installed XCode for the first time a few months ago, there was a 20-30 minute period where it was completely silent. Ultimately I was able to tail some syslog from the app store daemon that indicated it was actually doing something (downloading dependencies and validating their signatures, IIRC). But I almost restarted the computer thinking it wasn't working.
- icedchai 3y agoIt definitely stopped installing! It was showing the "old" version in the App Store updates, and I was able to start the install again.
- saagarjha 3y ago$ du -hs /Applications/Xcode.app/ 4.5G /Applications/Xcode.app/ You definitely should not need that much space.
