Apr 5, 2016 8:43 AM in response to daniel-hodgsonby Edward E,Thanks. This helped me. I accidentally clicked 'Continue' instead of 'Delete' but it did the same thing, it automatically started the download, after being paused/waiting for 10 minutes.

May 3, 2016 2:34 PM in response to saneefby ATaleikis,Everything is much more simple... Do not cancel anything, open AppStore, then click on the "Store" in the top-left menu and choose the following option - "Check for Unfinished Downloads...". Enter your Apple ID and password and you everything will be up and running.
The reason is that XCode does require additional confirmation before download.
Hope that helps.
Yours Sincerely,
Arturas Taleikis.

May 4, 2016 8:58 AM in response to saneefby Smagyarown,Strangely enough, what worked for me was to open Xcode, then try to do the update. It asked me to shut down Xcode and after I did, the download started.

May 26, 2016 12:44 PM in response to saneefby jewelien,This fixed it for me. On the app store window where Xcode is stuck at "waiting..", go to "Store" on the top left, select "reload page". Then click update on Xcode again.

Jul 16, 2016 10:56 AM in response to saneefby vol7ron,Your cache may be corrupted. You can try to download again by deleting the Xcode file in ~/Library/Caches.
I'm more familiar with the Terminal, if you are too, you can use these commands:
cd ~/Library/Caches ls -la | grep Xcode ls | grep Xcode | xargs rm -rf
The first entry just navigates to the cache directory. The second just verifies that there is an Xcode cache file. You want to make sure there's only one before performing the next command, which pipes that file/directory name into a remove statement.

My X-Code update was stuck on "waiting" -- I checked the store menu for unfinished updates and this required me to sign in -- perhaps this was because I had just finished an update of iTunes and a Yosemite security update -- I signed in and the X-Code download began again immediately...I guess it was just waiting for the sign in. Give it a try.

Sorry -- in the above message I should have said an El Capitan update, not a Yosemite update -- DUH! And, now the update has paused itself again after updating for about a half hour or more -- still not complete, but I'll just wait.

Sep 14, 2016 6:49 AM in response to VikingOSXby tbrodrip,This is very true - whatever other people are doing to fix the problem it just happens to coincide with the brief period where the penguins aren't busy. I've found that it's just pot luck. If you don't want to get stuck in the queue then don't download and install straight after release. The penguins are super busy - just leave it for a few days.

An update to my update - the latest update of X-Code has installed after many pauses and an error message that said it couldn't be installed and to try again. So, the moral of the story seems to be that you should have patience, don't believe everything you read, check after a few hours/days, and success just might be yours -- and I'm not really using it anyway, so what's the problem?

Sep 14, 2016 1:06 PM in response to daniel-hodgsonby Will Ullrich,This was the only way that I found to get Xcode to update / download. Seems the previous application bundle wouldn't allow the update to pass through to the App Store to begin updating.. w.e at least it worked lol
