Xcode 9.2 Deployment

Use this AppStoreExtract tool:

https://github.com/maxschlapfer/MacAdminHelpers/tree/master/AppStoreExtract

I use this whenever I need to deploy software from the Mac App Store. BTW it doesn't require the debug menu.

Thanks for that. I'm running into an issue when I try to run the script that it says permission denied. This happens on both admin accounts I tried as well as a regular user account. I tried following Rich's guide here but I don't see any mention of permission denied happening anywhere. Is there a different security option I might need to change? I've only ever had issues with allowing from sources other than the App Store.

Xcode can also be downloaded here: https://developer.apple.com/download/more/

@AdamBritt Here's an AppleScript that can get your App Store temporary folder.

set p2t to path to temporary items from local domain
tell application "System Events"
    set p2appStore to (path of container of container of p2t) & "C:com.apple.appstore:"
end tell
tell application "Finder" to open p2appStore

Here's the postinstall script that I'm using after deploying that package. It's a conglomeration of things from @rtrouton and Nick Cobb, with the last line from @donmontalvo's post here on Jamf Nation.

Thanks for all the tips everyone. I did eventually get the PKG from the AppStore downloads folder and tried to set it up in the policy I used for Xcode 8. When I ran the policy through Self Service to test it seemed to hang, but at the same time I think two other laptops checked in and got it successfully.
