xcode 12.4 crash by clicking preferences

OS version: Big Sur 11.2.3

CPU: Apple M1

Xcode version: 12.4

Problem: when I click the button in the menu bar "Xcode->Preferences", the Xcode crashes.

Anyone meets the same problem? How could I fix this issue?

Xcode 11.6 causes macOS 10.15.6 to unexpectedly crash on shutdown & restart There are reports from many users about unexpected kernel panics on macOS 10.15.6 after installing Xcode 11.6 and its simulators for iOS, tvOS and watchOS. The problem occurs during shutdown and reboot causing the OS to freeze and crash unexpectedly with a nice "watchdog timeout" kernel panic. The issue is extremely frustrating as there isn't a supplemental update to address it.

Big Sur Update Broke XCode and GoodNotes Did anyone else find that once they downloaded Big Sur, half of their apps either broke entirely or just wouldn't update? GoodNotes is now completely broken (image below). Menus are open, screens are zoomed, and I can't click on a dang thing. XCode is also stuck at 75% updated now for a day and a half, while other apps simply aren't updating AT ALL. I could also use some guidance on changing the color of my menu bar, because now it's black and I can't see any of the options when dimmed.
