Xcode stuck on installing after three days!

Can anyone help me? Xcode stuck on 'installing' and the progress bar looks like 80% of the way but it's been doing this for the last three days since ive installed it. I've restarted the computer, turned it off, done everything and nothing can get this to stop installing.

I've tried many things, such as trying to restart laptop again, I tried a sudo command in terminal, nothing seems to be working.

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!
