Description
I click install and immediately get the "cannot install, if issue persists submit bug report". I attempted a download from the App Store and it took so long I tried to cancel. Launchpad and app store still think they're in the middle of a download. To cancel the app store DL I tried logging out, and a restart.
To recreate:
Click install on the XCODES app at version 16.5.
Expected:
I wanted it to download XCode.
Version
- OS: Sequoia 15.7
- Xcodes: 2.4.2

Research direction
Start by reproducing the download in Xcodes 2.4.2 on macOS Sequoia 15.7, using the install action for Xcode 16.4. Inspect the download flow and the reported error state. Done means Xcode 16.4 downloads successfully and the App Store or Launchpad is not left showing a stuck download.
