It’s more than a norm that you will find it difficult to update Xcode to latest version from App Store. The reason, I think, is the size of Xcode which is mind-boggling 7GB+. Even on a very fast Internet connection you will find it difficult to update Xcode from App Store. In last year I’ve never been able to update xCode directly from App store. So what to do when you face this issue?

Important Notes
