Hi,
I'm trying to install Xcode on SO Monterey 12.7.1 and downloaded the version that said is compatible here Xcode - Soporte - Apple Developer, the version 14.2. I tried to download that version here https://developer.apple.com/download/all/?q=xcode but when I try to open it, it gives an error saying its corrupt and that it can't be decompressed.
My mac is an air one that is quite old, so I can't update it beyond OS Monterey 12.7.1
Any ideas?
Additionally, I've had better luck from the Safe Mode because I evidently had some 3rd party software that interferes with the downloading and installing so try the following:
#1 - boot into Safe Mode according to Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support.
NOTE: Safe Mode boot can take up to 3-5 minutes as it's doing the following;
• Verifies your startup disk and attempts to repair directory issues, if needed
• Loads only required kernel extensions (prevents 3rd party kernel/extensions from loading)
• Prevents Startup Items and Login Items from opening automatically
• Disables user-installed fonts
• Deletes font caches, kernel cache, and other system cache files
#2 - go to the System/Software Update preference pane and begin the download.
#3 - run the installer from the Safe Mode.
It sounds like your download was corrupt and couldn't be decompressed. Make sure you have enough free storage, at least 100 GB, and try again.
Install Xcode on Monterey 12.7.1
