Xcode gets stuck and crashes when installing

Every time I try to install XCode on Big Sur it gets stuck on 11.68GB of 11.68GB installed and the whole system crashes.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.5

Xcode can't open because it is updating I have a mac-mini (late 2014) running Monterey 12.3.1. Since 12.3.1 installed (a couple of weeks ago) I haven't been able to open Xcode. The message "You can't open the application 'Xcode' because it is being updated." appears. I've shutdown the machine down and restarted it - no change. Gone to the App store and tried to download Xcode again. It never completes. Just the line circling for hours. Is it time upgrade my machine?

Xcode 12.5.1 not launching. Im launching Xcode from my external drive that I copied from another system. But when I launch it won't launch and not responding. When I open a project it works but a long time and when I open it again it starts to verify and takes a long time

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!
