I have 32.53GB available for the 11.2GB Xcode package yet I am getting the error message "There is not enough disk space available to install the product."

I've installed the latest system updates and tried turning my machine off/on again with no success. Please help

The 11.2 GB package is a compressed file. You need enough disk space to store both the compressed and expanded files.

A good rule of thumb is you need 5 times the space of the package you're downloading, which would be 56 GB in your case. See the article at the following link for more information:

Same problem with 37 gb free !!

This doesn't look like a space issue, in previous version an 8 gb update went through with just 20gb disk space .
Do update if you find a solution.

Thanks
