GitKraken is very slow since macOS Big Sur update - macos

Since I upgraded to Big Sur, everything seems really slow on Gitkraken (checkout, pull/push, commits...)
I tried reinstalling it but it didn't change.

Edit Feb 16 2022:
Axosoft released 8.3 version of Gitkraken which seems to fix the issue:
Mac users will get optimal performance without needing to run the 'Big Sur workaround' from a terminal, which had been required to fix the partial signature issue introduced in macOS Big Sur.
Previous answer:
I got an answer from their support, saying I have to run
codesign --remove-signature /Applications/GitKraken.app/Contents/Frameworks/GitKraken\ Helper\ \(Renderer\).app
And everything is now working smoothly again. Yay!
Here is their full answer:
Thank you for using GitKraken! This is currently a known issue with the new Mac Big Sur OS.
As a workaround, consider running the following command in your terminal:
codesign --remove-signature /Applications/GitKraken.app/Contents/Frameworks/GitKraken\ Helper\ (Renderer).app
This temporary workaround removes the GitKraken Signature (making it a partially-signed app) which means if you update GitKraken you will need to do this again. However, this should help with the performance for now while we wait for Apple to address this issue.

Couldn't communicate with a helper application

I upgraded my OSX to macOS Big Sur version 11.1. Ever since I got this problem when trying to sign in in Xcode:
at the time I had an earlier version of xcode (12.2). I upgraded to Xcode 12.3 and the problem disappeared but then I came back up again. What can I do to fix this?
What I tried
rebooting in safe mode, didn't help
upgrading Xcode, solved the problem temporarily
tried to rebuild the dynamic link editor cache as suggested here but it was a dead end:
sudo update_dyld_shared_cache –force
This tool is deprecated.

Download problem with macOS Big Sur 11.1 Update

I have tried several times (using different WiFi networks) to download update macOS Big Sur 11.1 but every time download failed. I have received the same message:
Download failed
An error occurred while downloading the selected updates. Please check your internet connection and try again.
I am using MacBook Air (M1, 2020) with macOS Big Sur Version 11.0.1
Had the same problem. It's probably less space on the drive. Deleting some files and increase space on drive helped me.

Appcelerator Studio is very slow when scroll

Appcelerator Studio, build: 4.7.1.201609100950
macOS Sierra 10.12
iMac (Retina 4K, 21.5-inch, Late 2015)
Java 8
Node.js 4.4.7
npm 2.15.8
Titanium CLI 5.0.9
I've tried (many times) to reinstall the editor, but without solving the problem. The editor is really really slow when scroll (after macOS Sierra update). It's impossible to use it without going crazy. I use Appcelerator Studio for many years and i have never had these problems.
There are other external components that could upgrade / reinstall? (Java.. etc etc)
Thanks
Update
In addition to the slowdown, the editor does not properly recognize the file format.
I had this slow down issue with appcelerator Studio as well (some of my colleagues swear by using Atom editor)... this happens with Appcelerator when you have one .js file that is huge (thousands of lines).
Ideally, split your js file into seperate commonJS files and coll them into the original js file with require('filejs')
I also had this problem for almost 1 month and I went completely crazy one day due to Studio slow-ness.
I tried complete fresh installation of Appc & all of its components 2-3 times, but no luck.
Then on one day, it was not working even like previous day, so I decided to completely format my MacintoshHD and re-install the macOS Sierra because I noticed that some other normal apps like Skype & Email were also started working slowly. So I got the idea that it's related to macOS Sierra update.
Very Important Note (take system backup first)
Before installing OS, I took backup in external hard-drive and then I ran the First Aid (Disk Utility Tool) on MacintoshHD and found that there were some corruptions in it, so I fixed them but then something really crazy & out of this world happened with my system - Kernel Panic and my system did not start-up for 3 hours of hectic try.
So the last solution was to format the Macintosh HD & install the OS again. The best way to do this is to make a bootable pen-drive having macOS Sierra in it and then install using it.
Another way (if you have very good speed LAN) is to connect your system to Apple server and let it install latest OS from online. But it will download the whole OS & other required files (of at least 5GB size).
There are many online tutorials on how to install macOS Sierra again after such creepy issues.
FYI: I did re-installation of macOS Sierra last week & now everything is working like it is supposed to work on a Mac machine (just buttery smooth.).

xcode 8 not running

I installed the Xcode 8. But it stuck at licence agreement screen. I clicked agree and enter system password but Xcode stuck at same screen. Have anyone faced the same issue and their resolution.
OS Version 10.11.6 (El Captain)
I think I have faced a similar issue for an older version of Xcode. What you should do is to delete the app completely and try to reinstall it. If that does not work for you, try upgrading to the latest version of MacOS and try again. I believe this is a bug on Apple's end, but it shouldn't occur again if you try these things.
Also, make sure you are connected to the internet. If you are not, it may not be able to understand that you have accepted their agreement.

Xcode failed to install

I am trying to install Xcode 4.2 on my Mac system having OS version 10.6.8.
Actually, I removed the Xcode from the system and tried to reinstall it.
I quit iTunes before installing it, and I have enough free space on disc (111 GB). Below is a screenshot of the error. What should I do?
Set your system time to 1st January 2012 or earlier (but not too early), as the certificate that signed the package has expired.
I had the same error message. In my case, it was solved by updating the OS software. There was an update waiting for "Apple installations software". After the update, Xcode installed perfectly well.
I found out I could download the installer directly from Apple instead of through the app store, and that the error described by the accepted answer could also be circumvented by installing the Mobile Development Framework manually.
See forum post Problems installing Xcode on Lion for more details.
I had the same trouble on Mac OS 10.8.5 when installing Xcode 4.4.1, Xcode 5.1.1, and Security_Update_2014-005. It turned out that the reason was the same in all these cases: an incompatibility with Vodafone/Huawei UMTS drivers. A workaround in this case is to temporarily move them away, e.g.
mv /System/Library/Extensions/{HuaweiDataCardDriver.kext,Vodafone.kext,VodafoneFilter.kext} ~
Then do the installation/update, and then restore those drivers, e.g.,
mv ~/{HuaweiDataCardDriver.kext,Vodafone.kext,VodafoneFilter.kext} /System/Library/Extensions/
