I am trying to install 19.0.1 on my Mac running Sonoma and the installer gets stuck in the "Writing Files" stage. It has been on this same place on the progress bar for over 20 minutes. I have tried downloading a fresh .zip/dmg file and the same thing happens, so it doesn't appear to be an issue with the installer itself being corrupt. Any suggestions?

Hello there.

I've ran the Studio installer on Sequoia and it went smooth.
Which macOS are you on?
Force quit the installer.
Reboot the mac and install once again.

I guess something was a bit out of line on your mac.

Is the volume full or short on available storage?

Does the 19.0 installer complete successfully on your system?

I'm having the same exact problem installing v20 on my Mac - running Ventura 13.7.5 - did you ever find a solution?
