Xcode 9 - Downloadable xip file is corrupt from apple site

Question

I have downloaded the new Xcode 9 build from the Apple website

https://developer.apple.com/xcode/

However, I am getting the following error when extracting the file

Is this a known issue with the downloadable file or do I need to do something else in order to extract the xip file.

My Mac config

High Sierra
System Version: macOS 10.13 (17A352a)
Kernel Version: Darwin 17.0.0

I see you are using an app to un"xip" it. Why not try the native OSX unzip? – Katinakatine

Answer 1

It looks like the software I was using to unzip https://theunarchiver.com/ didn't support xip format fully. Switching to the native osx unzip solved the issue

Thanks ! You saved me from couple of times trying to re-download the file ! – Jesuit

Dude you just saved my day ... I'm on Catalina tried download every version of Xcode that supports Catalina and ended up 'data is corrupted' error. After making sure there is more than enough room of hard drive space then I saw your solution. You are the HERO ! – Macadam

Answer 2

I was having older version of MacOS then required for given Xcode's xip file. Thats why it was giving me above error. Once I Updated my MacOS to required version. The same xip started working fine.

Answer 4

I tried using unzip, Unarchiver, and other tools, but ultimately the only tool which was even able to open the file was Pacifist. However, Pacifist was really slow so I just ended up downloading Xcode from the App Store.
