I've updated Xcode from 4.1 to 4.2 in Mac App Store but Xcode is still 4.1.
In Mac App Store now, no update available anymore. Xcode in Mac App Store does not appear like installed application because the button is labeled as "FREE" then "INSTALL APP" not "INSTALLED" as expected. When I clicked "FREE" and then "INSTALL APP", it alerts
"We could not complete you purchase
Xcode is already installed on this computer. Choose Software Update from the Apple menu to check for available updates."
I followed the instruction but there is no available update for Xcode. I also tried to restart my computer for a few times but no effect.
Edited: There is no Install Xcode in my Applications folder as well.
Is there any suggestion? Thank you.
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.
Downloading and updating XcodeThe current release of Xcode is available as a free download from the Mac App Store. The Mac App Store will notify you when an update is available or you can have macOS update automatically as it becomes available.
Download the latest version of Xcode from the Apple developer website or get it using the Mac App Store. Once you have Xcode installed, open a terminal, run xcode-select --install , and click the Install button to install the required command line developer tools.
Sure, open the /Developer directory in Finder and right click on the Applications folder. Choose the 'Make alias' option. An alias is created named Applications alias . Change the aliased folder's name to the one that most fits to you e.g. "XCode".
Let me answer my question.
In my case, instead of Applications folder, Install Xcode appears in Launchpad. So if you cannot find Install Xcode in your Application folder, take a look at your Launchpad.
