Xcode 9 - Downloadable xip file is corrupt from apple site

Question

I have downloaded the new Xcode 9 build from the Apple website

https://developer.apple.com/xcode/

However, I am getting the following error when extracting the file

Is this a known issue with the downloadable file or do I need to do something else in order to extract the xip file.

My Mac config

High Sierra
System Version: macOS 10.13 (17A352a)
Kernel Version: Darwin 17.0.0

Answer 1

It looks like the software I was using to unzip https://theunarchiver.com/ didn't support xip format fully. Switching to the native osx unzip solved the issue

Answer 2

I tried using unzip, Unarchiver, and other tools, but ultimately the only tool which was even able to open the file was Pacifist. However, Pacifist was really slow so I just ended up downloading Xcode from the App Store.

Answer 3
