XCode stuck on installing M1 MacBook Pro

So Xcode is stuck on installing on my M1 mbp. It downloaded the 11.57gb and has been on installing for the last 4 hours. I’m on 11.1 Big Sur with 400gb storage available.

Xcode installation stuck I tried to install Xcode on my iMac M1. I got stuck at ‘Installing’ after the download. I read online to restart the computer so that’s what I did. When I got back there the app was ‘Downloading’ but it was stuck at 11.68Gb/11.68Gb and the bar was not moving. Now it’s back to the original ‘Installing’ and the bar is still not moving. Before that I also tried a solution to disconnect from the App Store, delete Xcode and start again. It also didn’t work. I just got my new iMac and I feel like I’m already messing up with my system files. There are two Xcode apps and the first one is already working if I double click on it, it's so weird!

Xcode stuck on installing Hi all something strange, xcode is correctly installed, but in the lunchpad it's missing the icon and it's stuck on installing: that doesn't go away even if I restart my macbook. I can launch xcode anyway. Is there a way to remove that icon stuck on installing? It' quite annoying because I always see the launchpad icon with in progress bar....

Xcode will not stop installing! I wanted to install Xcode a week ago on my MacBook Air M1 but it got stuck on "installing" for days. I noticed my SSD Storage was going down all the time so i decided to uninstall Xcode. After doing so I'm now left with a blank icon installing 12.58GB/12.58GB. It has been doing so for days and I haven't found a way to stop it. I have restarted the computer etc, The "System Data" category is increasing in size all the time. If I'm not mistaken I had about 190GB of free space before attempting to install Xcode.
