How does one (re)install xcode?

I made the mistake of upgrading xcode and its been painful.

I'm at my wits end trying to satisfy apples demand of "Rebuilding my app using the current public (GM) version of Xcode and resubmitting it."

some details Xcode 7.0.1 - Invalid Swift Support - cocoapods HOW TO FIX?

As far as I know I'm using the current public (GM). I'm using version 7.0.1 (7A1001), please someone tell me if thats not the current public (GM).

I've tried just about every "solution" here, the error still persists.

Now I'm down to reinstalling xcode as a last grasp. Of course this process is cloaked in mystery, how do you go about "reinstalling" xcode? I've heard that xcode has a "large footprint" so it's just not a matter of trashing the app, is it?

Where is Xcode installed on my Mac?

We'll use Finder to find out if XCode is installed. In Finder, select the Go pull-down menu, and select Applications. Or just use the short-cut key Command-Shift-A while Finder is active. This should open a new Finder window, showing all the Applications installed on your machine.

Yes, it is just a matter of trashing the app and re-installing the older app.

Delete the Xcode, empty the trash. Make sure you get all copies, even ones outside the Applications folder.

Either get a fresh versio from the Apple app store or get an older version from the downloads.

To get the older version 6.4 from: https://developer.apple.com/downloads/ You will need to sign-in with your developer id.
