Manual download

The always working and preferred workaround!

Download directly from Apple:

Then extract and move it where you like. This has so many benefits comparing to AppStore updates. (like the ability to resume download, not replacing the old one, not wasting hidden directories and etc.)

Note that you should use safari to download it.

Force App Store to re-download.

Apple suggested this workaround but many developers (including me)prefer manual download to save a lot of network traffic!

Since This is Known Issues

Xcode may fail to update from the Mac App Store after updating to macOS Catalina. (56061273)

Apple suggest this:

To trigger a new download you can delete the existing Xcode.app or temporarily change the file extension so it is no longer visible to the App Store.
