Xcode 11.1 is available on the Mac App Store now so you should probably be using that. Try a force brute approach by deleting Xcode 11, redownload and reinstall.

I was able to work around this by uninstalling Xcode first. What I did:

  • Open Finder and navigate to Applications.
  • Move Xcode from Applications to Trash.
  • In the terminal, run the command rm -rf ~/Library/Developer
  • In the terminal, run the command rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.dt.Xcode
  • Restart your machine.
  • Now go to App Store and search for Xcode and install it from there.
