Description
Tell us how we can improve Xcodes
The operating system's builtin Archive Utility displays a progress bar when unxipping Xcode. It would be really helpful to have something similar in Xcodes.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Unxipping takes a really long time, a progress bar would help users determine if the unxipping has frozen completely or is progressing extremely slowly. This would have been helpful when the unxipping step took several days before I gave up and retried.
What would you like to see? How would you like it to work?
A progress bar, similar to the download step. An 'approximate time remaining' would also be nice, but the perils of providing such an estimate are well known and probably not worth it.

Research direction
No file or test is named in the issue. Start by locating the unxipping step and the existing download progress UI, then determine how extraction progress can be surfaced in the macOS app. Done means users can see an extraction progress bar while Xcode is being unzipped; an approximate remaining time is optional.
