I have a macbook air and I went to the store to install Xcode 7.3 and hit the update App button, and a loading icon appeared but after waiting 30 min time nothing happened. I successfully installed simple recorder from the store but I can't install Xcode.
What can i do?
What are the options to download it?

Downloading and updating XcodeThe Mac App Store will notify you when an update is available or you can have macOS update automatically as it becomes available. The latest beta version and previous versions of Xcode can be downloaded from the Downloads page. To download Xcode, simply sign in with your Apple ID.
Why is Xcode so large? Xcode supports four different operating systems, iOS, iPad OS, macOS, and tvOS. And for each of those, it supports multiple versions. For each OS, it has simulator runtimes, libraries, compilers, and software development kits.
The normal way you upgrade Xcode via direct download is to download the new version, extract it from the XIP, and drag it into Applications. Are you having a problem with that? There is no patch-in-place; you just download the new version. It's generally a few GB.
Open the Mac App Store and sign out of it. Cancel the installation/download. Next, quit the Mac App Store and then restart your Mac. Once you're back on your desktop, open the Mac App Store, sign in again, and then download and install the app.
Try restarting your computer to see if Xcode has installed. This will also refresh the app store, so try downloading it again.
If all else fails:
You should uninstall all current versions of Xcode on your Mac. Do this by dragging each application to the Trash can. Delete your trash.
After, try downloading Xcode again and everything should go through.
You aren't aloud to download old versions of Xcode from the App Store.
