Hi,
I have Xcode installed on my Mac and now try to run the update from the App Store. Every time I click on Update it tells me "There is not enough disk space available to install the product.". I have 28 GB free space on my disk and the download is for approx. 8 GB.
How much extra space do I need to install this?!

I'm not sure how much space the installation uses but you are getting very low on storage which is not a good thing. I'd advice following the steps here to make more space on your drive:

Roughly three times the size of the downloaded file. Thus, if the installer is 8GBs you need that space plus two added chunks of 8GBs each, approximately. This would be 24GBs. This would be increased for a disk image that expands into far more space than the .dmg file requires.
Either you won't have enough space or very little space left over. Your system has free space needs of 15-50GBs or 10% of the disk's capacity whichever is greater. Inadequate free space will severely affect performance by slowing it down to a crawl.
Thanks, clearing up some more space actually solved the issue. Would be nice to see some indicator in the warning message how much space is required or in the App Store as extra information like "7.6 GB required (28 GB free space required during installation)"
