Xcode update won't install

I have been trying since early this morning to get this update to install and it just keeps failing. I have restarted my Mac and I have verified a good internet connection. 100mb download speed.

Hi Steve67_,


Thanks for coming to Apple Support Communities for help today. It appears that you are unable to download an Xcode update.


Are you able to download other apps from the Mac App Store?


You can also try downloading in a new Admin user account using your Apple ID in that account's Mac App Store. Here's how: How to test an issue in another user account on your Mac.


If you aren't able to download other apps, or you can't update Xcode from a new user, please contact Apple Support.


Have a fantastic day!

This only effects Xcode. Everything else is fine. I uninstalled Xcode, rebooted, then reinstalled. Now I have a notification that the app has an update but it fails to install.
