Comment (by tapfeifer):

 I have resolved this issue by doing the following:
  1.  Executed command {{{ rm -rf /Applications/Xcode.app }}} using
 Terminal deleted /Applications/Xcode.app
  2.  Executed command {{{ rm -rf /Library/Developer }}} using Terminal
 deleted /Library/Developer using Terminal
  3.  Rebooted MacBook Pro to clear any caches and reset all temp
 directories along with swap file
  4.  Opened AppStore and installed Xcode
  5.  Executed command {{{ xcode-select --install }}} using Terminal to
 install command line tools after Xcode was finished installing
  6.  Executed command {{{ xcode-select -p }}} using Terminal verified the
 correct settings in Xcode to ensure it is
 /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
  7.  Executed command {{{ sudo port clean --all xorg-server }}} using
 Terminal to ensure the system was clean before attempting to install
  8.  Executed command {{{ sudo port install xorg-server }}} using Terminal
 and the entire app was installed without error.

 This exercise in macOS apps is highly dependent on ensuring that Xcode
 goes through its entire install process. There are hidden config files or
 environment variables or other hidden items that are set up when Xcode is
 installed. Even though I was able to successfully execute the Xcode app,
 there was something behind the scenes going on an no errors were being
 revealed.
