Description

Describe the bug
When trying to install a version of Xcode, Xcodes fails in the extracting process with the following error message:

The operation couldn’t be completed. (ProcessExecutionError(process: <NSConcreteTask: 0x600001c92120>, standardOutput: "xip: signing certificate was "Software Update" (validation not attempted)\n", standardError: "xip: error: The archive “Xcode-16.1.0-Beta+16B5001e.xip” failed to be moved to the final destination due to the error: The operation couldn’t be completed. Operation not permitted.\n"))

I am able to download the same version of Xcode from the developer.apple.com without issue.

To Reproduce
Try to install Xcode version from list in panel.

Expected behavior
I would expect that the extraction would happen without issue and the the version of Xcode would be installed.

Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is named. First reproduce the extraction failure on macOS 14.6.1 with Xcodes 2.20 and the listed Xcode archive, then trace the installation and extraction path; done means the archive extracts and the selected Xcode version installs successfully.
