Description

Describe the bug
When trying to update to a Xcode version 13.3.1, the app throws an error "Unable to install Xcode" with some information about failing to decode JSON file. Even the Xcode icon is not showing in the information about this version. It may be an apple issue?
The same error also pops up when refreshing the list of versions.

To Reproduce
Open the app and refresh Xcode list or click install on the Xcode 14.3.1
The downloader or data source is irrelevant

Expected behavior
It should obviously just install the version of Xcode. If its an apple problem maybe it could mark the version as "corrupted" or something and allow me to use the app without constant error popups every time the list of versions refreshes.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the JSON-decoding error while refreshing the Xcode version list and while installing Xcode 13.3.1 or 14.3.1 in Xcodes 1.10.0 on macOS 13.4. Trace the version-list and installation error handling; done means the app no longer produces repeated error popups and handles an unavailable or malformed version gracefully.
