I have an app which is working fine but recently I tried it on an iOS 6 device and it doesn't work and it seems it's because of my old xcode version (4.2). I tried to download xcode 4.6 dmg file from apple developer section. I have downloaded it twice but the weird thing is after it completes the download the xcode dmg file which is 1.4GBs on size changes to a login.html which is only 8kbs in size! anyone had any experience with these kinds of files? My internet connection isn't so speedy and this is tough for me to download these files over and over again.

    "how download xcode dmg file?" - browser, `wget` or `curl`, etc., etc... –  May 17 '13 at 18:02
  • The current Xcode version is available in the Mac App Store. Why don't you download it from there? – flyx May 17 '13 at 18:06
  • @H2CO3 I didn't get what you mean – m0j1 May 17 '13 at 18:25
  • @flynx my internet connection is slow and it's easier for me to download the dmg file with a download manager – m0j1 May 17 '13 at 18:26

    The mac app store doesn't work properly in China for example, so this question is highly relevant to people here. – oskare Jan 27 '14 at 05:28
  • my applestore is locked, so this question is really important. How to download (not get it thru the appstore) – Geo May 14 '15 at 17:52

you can download from here https://developer.apple.com/downloads/ but you have to authenticate with developers account.

You must login before download.

  • I have downloaded it from there , but when it completes it changes the dmg file into a login.html file . I download it using firefox and DownThemAll plugin – m0j1 May 17 '13 at 19:30

    @m0j1 using download tools like that one will not help, as they normally having different sessions when accessing the server, you will need to download using the regular download from Firefox – David Conde Jan 06 '14 at 00:32
  • I wish i knew about the direct download link yesterday. Updating xcode from app store is so slow. – Azizi Musa Sep 22 '15 at 04:12

    Its really hectic to download 4gb XCode from India :( . more than 6times it stopped in middle after 80% . – arvindwill Mar 22 '16 at 16:42
  • The link for direct downloads has changed (regular download now tries to redirect you to AppStore): https://developer.apple.com/download/more/ (use search field on the left to find it faster) and use download manager in order to pause / resume / retry download if it fails. – Andrei Konstantinov May 23 '19 at 19:47
