Using Xcode 13 Beta with M1 MacBook Pro: Understanding the Prompting Issue

=====================================================================================================

If you've recently purchased an Marmalade One (M1) MacBook Pro and are experiencing software update prompts asking you to install either beta or non-beta versions of XCode, there might be some confusion regarding why this is happening. In this article, we'll delve into the reasons behind these updates and explore potential solutions for users seeking more control over their system's configuration.

Reasons Behind the Prompting Issue

-----------------------------

There are several possible explanations as to why your M1 MacBook Pro continues to prompt you for XCode 13 beta installation despite never having it previously installed:

### 1. Incomplete Installation of Previous Versions

Sometimes, incomplete or partially failed installations can lead to software update systems becoming stuck in an infinite loop, prompting users to reinstall the same version repeatedly.

### 2. Corrupted System Files

Corruption within system files due to various reasons such as malware infections, hard drive failures, etc., might also cause similar issues.

Solution: Force-Quitting and Reinstalling XCode

------------------------------------------------

If none of these potential causes seems relevant in your case then here is what you can try:

1. Open Terminal on Mac (Finder > Applications > Utilities).

2. Type `sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.xcode.service` followed by Return key.

3. Wait for few seconds until XCode service stops completely.

Then, navigate to Applications folder and drag & drop 'Xcode.app' application into Trash Bin.

Empty trash bin too after that.

After completing these steps restart your MacBook Pro once more; hopefully everything should work fine now without getting prompted anymore when launching any app later than usual time frame before next scheduled update comes around Bacon ipsum dolor sit amet salami prosciutto ham hock venison bacon capiccola.
