I have tried several options so far to no avail:

Unarchiver shuts down silently (after ~1.5hr of trying to unarchive).
xip console tool fails after ~1.5hr with this error:

xip: signing certificate was "Software Update" (validation not attempted)
xip: error: The archive “Xcode_12.5.1.xip” failed to be moved to the final destination due to the error: The operation couldn’t be completed. No such file or directory.

extracted .app is incomplete though weighs about 30GB

unxip extracts for ~1.5hr (being stuck for ~40min on Expanding items from “Xcode_12.5.1.xip”: 99%) and then shuts down. extracted .app is incomplete with the size of ~1.9GB

Are there any other options I can try to extract Xcode 12.5.1 xip archive? Would external drive be an issue (I have Xcode_12.5.1.xip on external drive)?

Usually, yes. You need to do this on the boot drive.

In my environment, I have succeeded to expand Xcode_12.5.1.xip on an external storage recently. It took about 2 hours or more, and the extracted Xcode.app shows as 32.88 GB. But working fine after I renamed it to Xcode12.5.1.app and moved to /Applications folder.

Do you have enough disk space? Internet connection is stable enough in your environment?

I have the same problem trying to extract Xcode 15, 15.1, and 15.2. No matter what I try, I get the "Data is Corrupted" message. Download from Google Chrome Download from Safari Downloaded far too many times. Downloaded different versions. I use no download manager. Use the local unarchiver Use several other unarchivers I am on MacOS 13.7.4, and Xcode 15.2 is the latest compatible version. If I weren't already bald, I would have pulled out all my hair by now.
