My XCode 12.0.1 was not updated to 12.1 (there was a notification that there was not enough free space) - 35GB was available on the disk.
In the end, I solved this problem by getting 45GB of free space and Xcode began to update.
I think this is not a bug. If the App Store indicates that the size is, for example, 11.3GB, then this is only the package size. In reality, after installing Xcode, it takes a lot more. For example, I have 16.2GB of the application itself + 35.3GB of additional resources in the Developer folder (simulators, archives, etc.). 51.5GB! And updating and downloading an application is only possible if there is space to install the application, not to download it.
