Where does the Mac App Store download the files to under Lion? I need the DMG file in order to repair something in my system, but how can I access that file?

You must login to have a valid session before downloading anything below.

You can find the DMGs or XIPs for Xcode and other development tools on https://developer.apple.com/download/more/ (requires Apple ID to login). To get the available XCode version only https://developer.apple.com/download/all/?q=xcode

    For anyone who is essentially just looking for Git support, you don't need to download the full 10 GB + Xcode download, you just need to download the Command Line Tools for Xcode by searching for "Command Line Tools for Xcode" here: https://developer.apple.com/downloads – Jay Nov 01 '20 at 19:02

    Xcode 13 has now been released, but it does not seem to be available like it should be under "more". How to download? I can't use the App Store for this. – jxd Sep 21 '21 at 10:18
