I was trying to install Xcode from the App Store. I somewhat managed to download the app but got stuck on the installation process. I have tried everything I could think of like resetting/restarting my device, stopping/cancelling and re-downloading the App (but this resulted in starting the download from 0, each time.)

Difficulties installing Xcode make us developer irritated, but one thing important is being patient and wait. I have experienced several times it took 3 hours to install recent Xcode and some report more than 6 hours. You may need to keep untouched for such a period. If you have ever tried waiting for more than 6 hours, you may try to install it by downloading .xip file. Visit the More Downloads page and download the latest Xcode.xip .This would also take as much time as App Store, but the installing process is a little more visible.
