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 have a developer.apple account and login to developer.apple before using the links on this page.

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

In the list below, newest is on top. Only latest/final revisions are listed.

To install Xcode, download a file below, double-click to unzip, and simply move to the Applications folder. (To have more than one version of Xcode: simply name them differently on the Mac.)
