Can't install Xcode 4.4 from Mac App Store

I have upgraded to Mountain Lion, and now i can't run my current version o Xcode.

However, I cannot upgrade to 4.4 either.



We could not complete your purchase.

Xcode can’t be installed on “Macintosh HD” because the version of OS X is too new.



I'm running OSX 10.8 on

Macbook pro 13' early 2012

Intel Core i5 2.4 GHz

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion, 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5

Simply delete the preferences plist of the App Store App. (Execute the following command in your terminal)


rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist

rm -r ~/Library/Saved\ Application\ State/com.apple.appstore.savedState

rm -r ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore

rm -r /private/var/folders/*/*/*/com.apple.appstore


Restart the App and you will be able to download Xcode 4.4.
