Faced the same issue after updating to Big Sur.
Found a temporary workaround:
NOTE: If your project has "Main thread checker enabled" it may crash somewhere, so it’s better to disable it.
Faced the same issue on Big Sur update. Git stopped working as well. Fixed it by running following command in terminal.

This is a known issues
Currently there is one workaround for this.
You’ve to run the following command in the Terminal app to avoid crashes when starting Xcode:
Now deactivate "Main Thread Checker" in your Xcode project: Edit
Scheme -> Run/Test -> Diagnostics -> Uncheck Main Thread Checker.
