What to do if Xcode is stuck on installing?
The only thing i did at first was long press on the xcode app icon in the launchpad, click on the x to delete the app, go to the application folder to be sure xcode is not there, restart the computer, open the app store again and click on the xcode download play button, then just wait. This is what I did. I suggest to open another request.
