366 PointsI don't think the answer from Juan Pablo Lazcano is correct. I had the same issue and If you can't install it from within Apple App Store, visit Apple Developer (https://developer.apple.com/download/more/) and download the app there. An Apple ID is required.
Xcode is provided as xip file (signed zip). You can simply unzip it by using Archives.app (i.e. with a double-click).
