Description

I logged into Xcodes with my apple id tonight and Little Snitch started asking for permission to hit a fair number of domains that are in no way, shape or form connected to Xcode nor Apple.

To Reproduce
Install Little Snitch, launch Xcodes, sign in to Apple ID, and begin installing the most recent Xcode.

Expected behavior
Only Apple domains to be pinged.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue with Little Snitch by signing in to Xcodes and starting installation of the most recent Xcode. Inspect the domains contacted during that flow and determine which request triggers the unexpected connections. Done means the installation flow contacts only expected Apple domains, with regression coverage where the existing project structure permits.
