xcode 4.1 not updating to 4.2 - how to force update?


I have xcode 4.1 installed. 4.2 has been out and would like to update but need to use the Apple Store but the App Store doesn't think there's an update (perhaps because I had a 4.2 beta installed). Is there any way I can force updated xcode? I run software update

thx


Solution

  • remove the "xcode installer" in your applications folder and try again. The app store just donwloads that application installer which you have to run in order to install the developer tools.. if it does not see that application you should simply be able to download it again ( which is the same as updating anyways ).
