I just updated my mac to macOS Big Sur, and am trying to update to the next version of XCode. It has been on 75-80% progress for hours:
Also, when I go to launchpad I see this:
Is anyone else having this issue or know how to fix it?
As a first test to check if everything is just going fine but really slow, try this:
Keep the App Store window open (thanks to #Dhruv Saraswat to point this out).
Open the "Console" app (not the "Terminal", but the "Console")
Go to the "Search bar" and type "App Store".
Push "Start" button.
Log lines will be added from time to time showing you how the installation process goes. In my case, I saw "... Completed: 825 of 1000", and some time later I got "... Completed: 826 to 1000", and so on.
That way you can at least check if everything is working, although really slow. You can then guess how long it will take to the "Completed: 1000 to 1000" step in your own situation.
This is weird behaviour everyone face nowadays when installing from AppStore. Instead of that download dmg of required xcode version from apple developer account and install.
Please refer below link to download XCode versions.
Xcode download link for all versions.
Above link contains download link from XCode version 1.0 till the latest.
mine was stuck for about 3 days and even rebooting didn't help!
i was trying to update to xcode 13.2.1 on MacOS Monterey
what i did was:
1- opened Activity Monitor and force quitted "installd" (not sure if it was necessary though!)
2- opened Launcher, held Option key (to make the icons jiggle) and clicked the x on xcode's corner! asked me if i want to delete the app and i confirmed but magically it stayed and when i opened it it was updated to the latest version! so basically it was done installing just didn't know it.
in my case force quit installd, close and open appstore, run update again
Had the same issue after updating my MacBook to Big Sur and trying to update Xcode to version 12.5.
Tried to reinstall, reboot my Mac, delete the app and install it again from App Store.
Decided to leave the installation overnight and it helped! In the morning Xcode was installed successfully.
I was stuck at Completed : 808 of 1000.
This is workaround.
Left down side of App store application screen, there is an account button.
Press account, then you can see message you should ACCEPT something.
Press accept and enter iCloud password.
Then magic. Console's app store log numbers going up.
Just FYI: On the latest Macbook Air M1, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, I installed XCode from the App Store. I had exactly the same issue. I thought my installation is stuck. I left Macbook for the whole night, then it downloaded XCode (around 12 GB). After that, it started installing it. I left it for the whole day and didn't touch it. In the evening XCode was installed. I just needed to leave it for around 24 hours to do the job.
Best way is to open 'console' (not terminal) app on Mac and type 'App Store' in the search bar then hit 'go' button as per first screen shot
You will start to see the lines come in and you need to make it wide enough so you get to see the parts number and notice the progress like in the second screenshot
You will notice some of those numbers will move fast, some will take up to 10 minutes, but at least you know you are not 'stuck'!
I had exactly the same situation, I updated MacOS and then updated Xcode to 12.5.1 and it got stuck on 7.2GB of 7.2GB. I left it for 4 hours with nothing happening (but in Activity Monitor 'installd' was working away). I left it overnight and it had sorted itself out by the morning.
If (like me) you only need the command-line tools, you may want to give this a try:
force-quit installd (using ActivityMonitor or ps -kill)
run xcode-select --install from the Terminal command line
Worked for me!
For me, the solution suggested by #thelawnmowerman worked perfectly.
Just need to check the number that is currently in progress out of the total threads. Once it completes the total, in a few mins, the xcode can be launched.
Although it does not speed up, but in Mac App Store, you should see the spinning wheel next in Xcode - place the cursor ON the wheel and you should see the installation progress (eg 52%).
If it does not move, cancel the Xcode installation and start again.
Confirm it has in 13.2 and 13.2.1 as well. Viewing the console app in the top answer will show you when it's done
I updated Xcode on M1 macbook pro with lots of RAM and lots of SSD MacOS 12.1 today from 12.2 to 12.3. It took 4.5 hours. So patience helps, and watching the logs as well.
I had the same problem, and for me, the tips in this thread did not work. What I found to be the problem is that App Store didn't think I had enough space when in fact I had enough space for Xcode.
To solve the "space" problem you can create a dummy file and directly remove it. This allows you to trick your computer that you actually have enough space. (Has to do with containers, read here for more info: https://medium.com/geekculture/installing-xcode-with-not-enough-disk-space-available-b96c8f17115b)
STEP BY STEP GUIDE:
Open the Terminal
Move to the location where you want to create your file using cd. Like cd Documents
Now use command mkfile G your-file-name.ext ( example: mkfile 4G mymovie.mov => will create a movie file with name mymovie of size 4GB)
Hit Enter, It will take some time to complete the process (depends on the file size)
When the command completes the prompt should return and a file would be created.
Go to finder and remove your file. (Move to trash)
Emeditly install Xcode again.
Hope you find it helpful :)
I faced the same issue. I monitored the process using #thelawnmowerman answer. But the process was getting stuck after progressing.
I terminated the App Store every time the process got stuck and opening it again also started monitoring process again, it started progressing every time and I reached to the 1000 (100%).
I am using a base Macbook Air M1 2021 (8 GB RAM). I downloaded Xcode from the
apple developer portal and installed it with the xip command. Open your Terminal and type the below:
xip -x ~/file-location
Double-clicking the file takes too long, the above command took ~5-8 minutes to expand the file. After that just move it to the applications folder so you can find it in the Launchpad.

Turning off the file shield of your antivirus will helped in my case.
While an anti-virus shouldn’t technically block an app from the Mac App Store, it seems that Xcode is an app with its own unique set of problems which is why disabling the anti-virus works in some cases.
The Console is very helpful. It shows that installation is working, albeit slowly.
I had to download xCode 3 times. Re-install it 3 times. All in all about 8-12 hours effort.
It is still proceeding, SLOWLY.
It would be very helpful if the Apple team put in a better "installation progress" indicator -- like exists for so many other products.
I faced a similar issue while installing the 13.3 version. My progress bar was showing installing for about 1-2 hours and then it started showing waiting. What eventually worked for me was installing it using terminal code "xcode-select --install".
Solved - 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.
This was so frustrating for me
When I checked the console, I felt like there was a problem with my account.
Because I changed my password once before.
So I went to App Store -> my account -> I had to login again.
After trying to update to Xcode 14.1 on Ventura for nearly 24 hours, I eventually trashed the Xcode application, rebooted, started only the App Store, and did a new install, leaving the App Store in the foreground. It downloaded (about 7 GB in 20 minutes) and completed the install in less than an hour on my M1 Mac mini.
Background:
After updating to Ventura, there was an update to Xcode 14.1 in the App Store. As with previous versions, I had trouble installing it. This time though, the install would progress to 61% (seen by hovering the mouse over the spinning circle in App Store), then stay there. Filtering for ASDAppQuery in the Console, as suggested in other answers, showed progress for a while, but then also stopped. The installd process was still using a lot of CPU. However, after a while it would stop doing so. It seemed that the App Store app would stop, and a couple of times I checked Activity Monitor and saw that it was in "App Nap" mode. After waking up again, the appstoreagent would run at 95% CPU (one core) for a while, followed by installd running again, at around 300% CPU. This cycle continued, but with no progress. I tried leaving it overnight, but in the morning it was in the same state: neither appstoreagent nor installd doing anything, but then seeming to wake up and grind away again, but making no progress. I had also tried quitting the App Store and starting again, but the same kept happening - going to 61%, then spinning away with no progress indication. Finally, I decided to trash Xcode, reboot, and install - that worked quickly and flawlessly.
fixed forcing close the installd process and run again the App store
Oh, it really helpful!
I user IOS12.3.1 in VMWare Station, and when I update xcode from 13.2 to 13.3, it get stucked.
additoin: my cpu is i5-9
You can open the app store, search XCode and click the stop button. Worked!
Any sheet I open keeps showing the "Working" green notification at the top of the window, and the cells don't autopopulate when I start typing a formula. I.e. when I start typing "=ifer" it shoud automatically show the "iferror" option. However, the formual works once I fully type it.
This is happening in Safari. I already tried to restart my mac in safe mod and then restart normally, reboot it normally, clean history, reload the page several times, but no luck. It's been going on for days now.
OS: OSX El Capitan 10.11.6
Have you ever seen this?
Client had been having this exact issue for the past week, and in finding a solution in the past hour, I hope this helps you.
They were also on OSX El Capitan 10.11.6, and though I've tried to clear the working error in Safari unsuccessfully, the computer in question was doing the same on Chrome, and the following solution worked to access the spreadsheet correctly again on Chrome.
In Chrome:
Step 1: Tap the Chrome menu icon and select Settings.
Step 2: Scroll to the 'Privacy and security section' and select 'Clear browsing data.'
Step 3: Go to the Advanced tab and check only the 'Hosted app data' box. Finally, tap the Clear data button to proceed.
Various tips are outlined at https://www.guidingtech.com/fix-google-sheets-not-loading-chrome/ if the above doesn't work for you. The above solution which worked for me was option 2 on that page.
I am using macOs Catalina, previously I had been using MPLAP X IDE v5.40 (the most recent) with no problems.
Yesterday I tried to open the app but the screen goes black, then recover its previous state and the icon (just the icon not the splash screen) appears in the dock then after 2 -3 seconds the screen goes black again and the icon disappear. I thoght I have a corrupted installation but I already unistalled and reinstalled both java and the MPLAB with no success.
I hope someone can help me.
You can often correct a bunch of these problems by deleting the cache, and if that doesn't work, delete the user directory.
To find their locations, go to the Help/About dialog box.
Deleting the cache usually just means that startup may be a little slower. Deleting the user directory means you will lose your setting, so MPLAB will start as a new installation and perhaps will ask you if you want to import the settings from an older version;
I installed jdk-8u101-windows-x64 on my Windows 10 x64 in order to proceed with installing a Netbeans 8.1 all in one package, and after JDK was installed the system immediately restarted.
When the system rebooted, Chrome stopped working. Loading any page or even settings page now displays "Aw, Snap! Something went wrong while displaying this web page. Learn more - Reload".
Clicking Learn more or reloading does nothing. I tried disabling Defender and enabling again, didn't work.
Reinstalling, or restarting the PC multiple times didn't work.
Has anyone come across this?
Thanks.
I also have a Windows 10 x64 OS and just tried installing the JDK. It was JDK 8 Update 101 and my Google Chrome version is 53.0.2785.143. It did not force me to restart but I went ahead and restarted and when I booted back up I did not see the same issues that you were referring to.
This leads me to believe that it's something specific with your machine and nothing with the JDK or Chrome itself. It's possible that you have some chrome extension that is causing problems.
To fix the issue you're having first I would download and install the Chrome Cleanup Tool. If that doesn't fix the issue, you can try launching Chrome in 'safe-mode' like so:
Right Click, create shortcut, rename, right click go to properties and add - -incognito- with out the - in the target field on shortcut tab. Then apply and ok
Once you are able to launch Chrome in incognito mode, then you should be able to delete the extensions via the settings.
If that still doesn't work, then you will likely have to delete the user data for Chrome in your AppData and registry manually. To delete your AppData go to:
C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data and delete the Default folder then relaunch Chrome.
To remove the extensions from the registry, Open regedit and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Google\Chrome\Extensions and delete the keys there.
Sounds like broken Java libraries...
Try uninstalling Netbeans, JDK, Chrome, in that order.
Then installing Chrome again, try it out, then JDK, try Chrome, then Netbeans, try Chrome.
Also check that you have 32bit JDK and that your preferred Java is set to 32bit since Chrome is 32bit.
While running my app on iPhone, I needed to view the database contents. So I selected Devices in Xcode and chose my device. Thereafter, i selected my app and clicked on the Settings button which shows 3 options: Show container, Download container and Remove container. On clicking the Download container option, I was asked where I want to store the container. After selecting the location, I am getting the following error: An error occured while attempting to download the container from application "MyApp".....
On selecting Show container option, a list opens up but there is no file inside it.
The same problem occurs with other apps too that I run using Xcode.
Any ideas as to why this happens and how to fix it?
I just rebooted my iPhone. That seems to fix it! Really weird, but works.
I have been having the issue every now and then especially after the phone has been connected to Mac and Xcode for about an hour.
Sometimes, just rebooting the phone isn't good enough, you'll also have to quit Xcode and start again after rebooting the phone!
I also had this problem yesterday, and the solution was a mismatched version of iOS 10 and Xcode 7. After I did the App Store upgrade to Xcode 8, I was able to download successfully.
In my case the issue was due to the fact that the version installed was a release version.
After installing the "Debug" version, the download worked fine.
