After losing my connection while downloading Xcode 4.2.1, the App Store has removed it from available updates and under purchases it says I am up to date (even though the date of the my installed version is before the latest update date). I have tried to do:
defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool true
And then use the Debug menu item after restarting the App Store using these instructions:
Is there any other way to directly download 4.2.1 or to force the App Store to clear its cache, short of removing Xcode entirely?
Best Answer
Click on Purchases by keeping the ⌥ key pressed (option key). It will need 10 seconds to initiate the tab (more or less), but afterwards you'll be able to re-download any purchased app.
