trying to launch Xcode 5.1 and keep getting "Xcode is being updated". It was updated last week and shows as installed. Screen shots to illustrate. Any ideas? I went to the developer portal, but it takes you to the App Store (I was hoping there was a seperate install). Many thanks. Project is stuck at the moment.

  1. Show the App Store's Debug menu (enter the following in Terminal):

    defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool true

  2. Select Reset Application and restart the App Store

  3. Log in to the App Store through the Purchases tab.

  4. Reboot.

Worked for me for Xcode 7.0 without the reboot. Many thanks! – Jamey Sep 18 '15 at 1:18
