Xcode update is stuck at waiting

This is something that happens often and I wanted to make sure you are going to fix this the right away, without causing any problems to your system and save you some time. 

This was written for Xcode 8.3 (but it has worked for previous versions as well) and it is confirmed that it works on:
OS X 10.10 Yosemite, OS X 10.11 El Capitan, and macOS 10.12 Sierra.

I am assuming that you are at your Updates screen and Xcode is stuck at "waiting". Click on Xcode (the actual name/caption of the pending update) and the relevant page of Xcode on App Store will show (see below). 

When you click the Update button (beneath the application icon on App Store), a little progress bar appears beneath it, and it usually tells you "less than a minute" (but it is stuck there forever). 

Don't navigate away from this screen on App Store, because we want this little progress bar to be our indicator on what is happening. 

• Open a new Finder window and click Applications (top left hand side). 
• Scroll down to the Xcode application and drag the application to Trash.
• You will be asked to confirm your password before moving Xcode to Trash.
• Once you enter your password, there will be a prompt asking you if you want to cancel the update or delete the app. Choose delete. 
• You will notice that immediately after clicking delete, xcode starts downloading the updated version, and you can see/confirm that at the progress bar (as discussed earlier on) and it will tell you how long it will take (it can take an hour, depending on your Internet connection).
• (optional) If you want to save some space on your disk, go to Trash, right-click on xcode, and delete it completely from the system. It will ask you again to confirm your password. 

Don't forget to plug-in your computer, as the whole process takes a while, and the computer might go to sleep and suspend the download and/or the installation. 

IBAN Country List

IBAN (International Bank Account Number) that originates from a member or joining country of the EU or the EEA. FYI: Switzerland and other countries that have adopted the use of IBAN. 

A couple things about the IBAN

Instructions for Screen or Braille Reader users

• This IBAN Checker validates the format of an IBAN which you can either type or paste into the input boxes.
• The results of validation are normally shown on the screen. To receive the IBAN Checker results in a dialogue box that your screen reader should be able to interact with, check the first checkbox that you come across in the form. The prompt for this box reads 'Screen reader users please check this box to receive the results of the IBAN Checker as a dialogue box'.
• Two sets of input text boxes are provided for you to enter your IBAN for checking.
  • The first set of nine input text boxes allow you to type in the IBAN four characters at a time.
    • You will need to tab from one text box to the next.
    • Each text box will only allow a maximum of four characters.
    • The IBANs have a specific format, and some possible formatting errors are detected as you are keying characters into these text boxes.
    • These errors are notified to you in dialog boxes with an OK button which you must action before you carry on.
    • When you action these dialogue boxes you should be aware that incorrect input is not cleared out of the input text boxes.
  • After the multiple input boxes there is a single longer input box into which you can type the complete IBAN. Or alternatively you can paste the IBAN into this box if you have received it electronically - ie in an email.
  • Typing into any of the multiple input text boxes will clear out any characters you may have typed or pasted into the longer input text box.
  • Similarly typing or pasting into the longer text box will clear out any characters you may have typed into the multiple input text boxes.
• Two buttons are provided on the form.
  • The first button triggers the checking of the IBAN you have entered.
  • The second button clears out all the input text boxes.

- Each IBAN has a predefined length (depending the country it belongs to).
- Each IBAN has a country prefix.
- The IBAN should not contain spaces when processed electronically (or the word 'IBAN').

In case someone needs this information, I will just leave that list below :)
