Answer 1

If you have an Apple Developer account, download the latest xcode directly from here: http://adcdownload.apple.com/Developer_Tools/Xcode_8.3/Xcode_8.3.xip.

Note: if you are unable to install the latest OS, at this time: OSSierra, then you will not be able to be able to install Xcode 8.3 to my knowledge (I was not able to. I had to get a new computer, which I had to do).

Answer 2

I upgraded my mid-2012 mac book pro to Sierra. But still was stuck with spinner.

This helped solve it. - (link to the apple discussion forum)

"Going to Applications in Finder and moving Xcode to the trash bin fixed the problem for me. As soon as I entered in my password to confirm moving Xcode to the trash, the App Store prompted me on whether or not I wanted to cancel the update or delete the app. I opted to delete Xcode, and the App Store immediately began downloading the update."

Answer 3

Xcode 8.3 requires macOs Sierra release notes Xcode 8

I was facing the same issue with macOs El Capitan

Answer 4

Well, there's a challenging way to modify and run it if you get it from the Developers portal. :) Not as your primary Xcode instance, but experiments are possible. :))

Answer 5

wait for 8-10 minutes without pressing pause or cancel or so. just wait. and it will start while you eating popcorn.

even though it not started to update and stuck at 0kb, the term you have to focus is "patience".

Answer 6

Just go to App Store and click on Store -> Check for Unfinished Downloads.
