You DO NOT need to upgrade Xcode   Just open the file  usr local Homebrew Library Homebrew extend os mac diagnostic rb    then remove this line check xcode minimum version in the following function   def fatal build from source checks      w        check xcode license approved       check xcode minimum version    lt -- this one       check clt minimum version       check if xcode needs clt installed       freeze     end   Then brew install should works fine

I ran into this bugger too   I was running an older version of Xcode  not compatible with ios 9 2  so I needed to update   I spent hours on this and was constantly getting spinning wheel of death in the app store  Nothing worked  I tried CLI softwareupdate  updating OSX  everything   I ultimately had to download AppZapper  then nuked XCode   I went into the app store to download and it still didn t work  Then I rebooted   And from here I could finally upgrade to a fresh version of xcode   WARNING  AppZapper can delete all your data around Xcode as well  so be prepared to start from scratch on your profiles  keys  etc  Also per the other notes here  of course be ready for a 3-5 hour long downloading expedition
