Show documentation window crashes XCode 12

Question

Just showing the Documentation Window crashes XCode 12 (cmd-shit-0) - anytime I do it. Does anybody have the same problem, an explanation or a work around ?

Answer 1

Update: There's now a new version (12.0.1) in the App Store that fixes this issue.

I'm experiencing the same when using the version from the App Store. People in this Apple Forums thread are reporting that it doesn't occur with the GM download from Apple's developer resources, despite the build identifiers being exactly the same.

Anecdotally, I can confirm that I was able to use documentation in the GM version before I deleted it in favor of the App Store version. So this may in fact be a viable workaround until the App Store version is fixed.
