I have 42.84 GB of free space available yet the App Store is not letting me install XCode. Please help.

Do you try to install Xcode 13 ?
42 GB may be just a bit too limited. Usually, 50 GB may be needed (because there are a lot of large temporary files in the process).

42.84 GB seems to be too small to install recent Xcode from Mac App Store. I removed many unneeded files and made more than 50 GB to install Xcode 13.
If you have some external storage device, download Xcode.xip into the device and try expanding it.
This is by no means a good answer but I was able to resolve it after restarting my computer multiple times... Simply turn it off and back on again, sign into app store again and download...
