Start by reproducing the failed installation in XcodesApp on macOS 26 Tahoe beta 7 with Xcode 16.4 and 26.0 beta 4, using the screenshots and the reported “Unable to install Xcode” error as the baseline. The issue names no files, tests, or entry points; done means identifying the installation failure and restoring successful Xcode installation on the reported OS.
