Q: Xcode update stuck at waiting

I'm trying to update to Xcode 7.1. But this what I get.

I tried restarting the system. No use.

I checked in Console. And, I can see a lot of these:

     22/10/15 09:42:31.000 kernel[0]: Sandbox: storeaccountd(2111) deny(1) file-write-create /Users/saneef/Library/Caches/com.apple.spotlight

    Worked perfectly. Tried for several times, cleared the cache of the app store, restarted, waited for an hour. Nothing... Then after confirming the deletion, the update started immediately. thanks!

    This worked for me too—thank you DH!—but you need to keep AppStore running while you delete Xcode. On my first attempt, I first quit the AppStore, then deleted Xcode, and relaunched AppStore. In that attempt it didn't show that I had an Xcode update. So, quitting the AppStore, restoring Xcode from trash, relaunching AppStore again showed me the Xcode update, again stuck at Waiting. This time, I deleted Xcode while AppStore was running, and it automatically took off. FWIW, this is for Xcode 8.
