xcode 8 not running - xcode

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.

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.

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/

Can't update command line tools because Xcode tells me I don't have access to them

I'm using Xcode 4.3.2 and it tried to install an update to the command line tools.
I clicked the update button and Xcode told me that [my apple id] does not have access to Command Line Tools. (Contact Apple Developer Support to resolve account access issues.)
The problem happened with 4.3.1 too, I just did the update to 4.3.2 because I thought that it will resolve the issue.
My account is a paid Mac + iOS Developer account. I am pretty sure I should have access to these tools. But Xcode tells me I don't.
I logged in to the developer portal and checked for new Terms of Service too. Everything looks alright.
How can I install the update? Does anybody have a solution for this?
Yes its all over the Twitter... Just go to Apple Downloads and manually install it. They are investigating the issue as far as I know
Dominik Porada details the solution at Xcode 4.5 and iOS 5.1 Simulator, ie. download the old XCode 4.4.1 from Apple and pull out the simulation. Personally, I just copied the simulator from one of my other Macs that I hadn't upgraded XCode on yet.
Not sure if it's still relevant but xcode-select --install might do it.
I had the same problem last night after the update to Mountain Lion and Xcode 4.4.
This morning I tried to build something in xcode and it told me that developer mode wasn't enabled on the mac. Once I enabled it, I tried to download the command tools again and that happened to work fine now.

Xcode Crash while "build and archive"

i have snow leopard 10.6.3 installed via iAtkos..everything runs good even XCode as well.I can successfully build iPhone apps run them on the simulator and the device but when i use the "build and archive" option( for adhoc distribution or itunes connect ) XCode simply crashes..does anybody have a solution for this?
thanks in advance
btw XCode version 3.2.3(tried 3.2.3 as well same result,also in safe mode)
Mac OS X version 10.6.3
I had the exact same problem, and it turned out it was caused by a variable of wrong type in info.plist. My short bundle version was created as int instead of string.
I was getting the warnings about it, but it didn't seem relevant since the crash happened only when archiving, and normal building worked fine, the app ran fine. I suggest you check your benign looking warnings, one of them could fix the issue.
You might try 3.2.4 (available now).

gdb debugger in xcode doesn't work

I'm trying to use direct commands to gdb through xcode's console window when the program is paused. But the (gdb) prompt just accepts the carriage returns, and does nothing. Has anyone encountered this? I'm on the latest version of Mac OS X (10.6.2) with the XCode 3.2 beta.
If using a beta best to contact the beta mailing lists as this is the sort of issue the developers want to know.
If using a beta the first thing I would check is does this work using the previous production version
Also note that you might be under a NDA and so can only discuss with the developers.
This is a bug in the software, or an incompatibility with some setting in my system. Formatting my laptop and reinstalling the software fixed the problem.
