Hi!

I've been attempting to download Xcode after installing macOS Big Sur for the past day now and every time I try, it says I do not have enough free space. In the storage it says that I have 35.03 GB free space available.

I've attempted to download Xcode from here, developer.apple.com, well download was successful, but again the same issue can't install because of not enough space for Xcode. Any ideas on how to solve this?

I am having the same problem. I also had it when trying to upgrade to BigSur.

Free up more disk space until the alert goes away. Take the size of the Xcode download and multiply by 5. That's a decent estimate of how much free space you need to install Xcode.
