How to download Xcode DMG or XIP file?

Question

Where does the Mac App Store download the files to under Lion? I need the DMG file in order to repair something in my system, but how can I access that file?

Answer 1

You have to login before using any link below.

You can find all Xcode dmg/xip files directly on:

https://developer.apple.com/download/all/?q=xcode

In the list below, the newest are on top.

For each minor version (6.3, 5.1, etc.) only the latest revision is in the list.

Note. Use xip -x <xip> to bypass verification step when unzipping.

_{Since 15, Xcode downloads runtimes and simulators on first launch. You no longer need to manually click to do so:}
