Is anyone else seeing this? How do I get the update?
Yup, it’s downloading. Just leave it to do its thing for a couple of hours, and eventually you should have Xcode 7.0.1 in Applications.
I don’t know why it’s not showing the correct download status**. Possibly this is one of the few times (maybe even the only time ever, so far) where it’s actually updating your existing app with a delta, instead of downloading an entire new version.
** Except for the obvious reason, that the Mac App Store app is the worst, slowest, stupidest and most misleading app that Apple ever wrote.
I’m with ‘**’ at the bottom as regards the GUI showing what the App Store is doing. it appears to me that the actual download and install daemons are entirely different processes and the GUI tries to read what’s going on from them and stay up-to-date, and it just doesn’t do it very well.
I continue to recommend not updating Xcode from the app store but just downloading it directly from the link (under other downloads) and installing from there. It’s fast and you can tell what’s going on.
FWIW, if at all possible, I never download anything from the app store and always download from the website.
It's much easier to keep the installer for later use if I want. Annoying download issues like the one that started this thread are much less likely to be present. I know where the file is going to be - in the Downloads folder. |
