Trouble about updating Xcode and Mac system software.

Trouble Under Updating Software On Mac

1.MacBook System Software

1.1Suggestion

1.Do not use the automatically update status.

2.If the system softwares do not work quickly, or some usage need the latest

system, then update the macbook operation system.

2.RoadMap

1.Maybe the system software automatically download while connecting the wifi;

2.Now restart the mac to install the latest version spending about ten minutes.

2.Xcode

2.1Download

1.Downloading Xcode from AppStore needs about 30 minutes(Just use the 8GB APP

for an example). Also, that depend your network speed.

2.Or downloading Xcode Package from AppleDeveloper spend up to 2 hours. Also,

that depend your net-speed.

2.2Install

As we al know, installing xcode needs about 5 hours to 7 hours.

But it is worth to do that.

2.3Problem

2.3.1Two Xcode icon

The version of my local Xcode is 12.3.1, and the version of latest Xcode in

AppStore is 14.0.1. Also, the version of CommandLineTools for macOS is 14.

Because I have just updated macOS from 12.5.1 to 12.6(12.6 was

automatically download while connecting to wifi and I have chose the usage of

"Download new updates while available" on the "Advanced" under the

function of "Software Update").

Both of the two Xcode icon are the same version in my Mac. I've just moved the

second Xcode icon from Launchpad to the Trash, and I try that first, that

worked! But after a few minutes, My first Xcode missed!

So, Please do not directly move any of the Xcode icon to the trash. Because that

will delete the Xcode, and you again need to download.

Solution: The easiest way to fix this is to head to your applications folder,

(Using the menu bar, not a dock folder) and manually moving Xcode to your

trash.

After that, open launchpad and let it update. Both Xcodes will be gone. Then

open your trash and right click Xcode, select Put Back. Voila, you fixed your

problem and didn't even have to re-download!

Refer this.

If you have just done like me, directly move the second Xcode icon from

the launchpad to trash, you need to download the Xcode from AppStore. That

needs about from 30 minutes to 3 hours. I always do that before go to bed,

Xcode already successfully download and install while I get up. You know, that

splendid. Cool!
