Free up more storage, and try again.


In general macOS usage, 25 GB free space is a ~full storage device.


Xcode requiring as much as 50 GB isn’t all that unusual, depending on local requirements.


Plus the transient storage necessary to unpack it.

There are third-party storage upgrades for 2017 and various earlier MacBook Air models, as well.
