I've tried restarting and I should have plenty of space (over 100 GB free), but Xcode 16.2 update consistently fails to install (FWIW it appears to hang with around 3-5% left in the progress graphic).
MacOS 14.7.4

The installation of Xcode from the Mac App Store is quite slow and even without that dialog, would demand patience. It does require Sonoma 14.5 or later, which you have met. You can hover your mouse over that circular completion indicator to see its current activity and progress.
I would reboot your Mac, click on the Macintosh HD icon, and press option+cmd+i to open an Info panel. Look at the available storage number shown there. Xcode does not take just the storage equivalent of its download size, but considerably more storage as it is uncompressed and temporary storage during installation. That will increase should you choose more than the Mac SDK. Try the installation again later.

Here is a direct download link to Xcode 16.2. It will end up in your Downloads folder. Double-click the Xcode.xip file in the Finder and it will deposit the Xcode.app in your Downloads folder. From there, just drag and drop it into your /Applications folder.
Hi, thank you for your reply.
I've rebooted the machine several times, and I've tried downloading multiple times even on different days. My HD reports "112.64 GB (33.13 GB purgeable)" as available.
