Yeah. That really doesn’t need to be from the store.

I really hate going through the Apple Store to download Xcode. We all know how to download software. I’d rather go through a dev portal than a consumer portal.

YMMV




Xcode can be downloaded from developer.apple.com too, it's not an App Store exclusive.
