How to download Xcode DMG or XIP file?

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?

You have to login before using any link on this page.

See all Xcode files directly at: developer.apple.com/download/all/?q=xcode

In the list below, the newest are on top.

For each minor version (12.0, 13.2 etc) only the latest or last revision is in the list.

To actually install Xcode, download a file below, unzip, and simply move to the Applications folder.

Note that it is normal on modern MacOS to have more than one version of Xcode if needed. Simply name them differently.

_{^{Note. The xip -x <xip> tip is no longer faster. This legacy tip will be removed with the next version.}}
