Description
I am seeing failure when installing xcodes in sequoia 15.6
xcodes install 16.4
Apple ID Password (abc@gmail.com):
OSStatus error:[-99999] Unexpected error has occurred.
Downloading with aria2 (/opt/homebrew/bin/aria2c)
(1/6) Downloading Xcode 16.4.0+16F6: 99%
(2/6) Unarchiving Xcode (This can take a while)
Using regular unxip. Try passing `--experimental-unxip` for a faster unxip process
Failed executing: `/usr/bin/xip --expand "/Users/abc/Library/Application Support/com.robotsandpencils.xcodes/Xcode-16.4.0+16F6.xip"` (1)
xip: signing certificate was "Software Update" (validation not attempted)
xip: error: A temporary directory could not be found for the archive “Xcode-16.4.0+16F6.xip”.
Anyone else facing the same?
