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 downloading anything below.

You can find all Xcode dmg/xip files directly on https://developer.apple.com/download/more/ (requires Apple ID).

To list XCode only: 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 kept in the list.
