Describe the Bug

my goal is create fully e2e automation with appium-mac-driver and to use this I must install xcode as prerequisite.

use case:

1. create mac mini vm instance in AWS
2. install xcode inside the mac vm

• flow runs from Jenkins
• macOS versions >= 10.15 (Catalina)

problems and errors:
I got blockers when I tried to install Xcode in automation flow .

found this article how to install : https://www.moncefbelyamani.com/how-to-install-xcode-with-homebrew/
problem : before use mas cli command to install xcode I must to signin to apple id ,
but mas signin command disabled on macOS 10.13+ : #164

anyone have any idea how can I workaround this blocker? how can I install xcode from mac os terminal?

i also try to do this with ansible and a remote mac and i don't get any response from the command, but it seems that it was downloading, but then suddenly got stuck. I don't get a response in the shell that it is downloading, even when im on the mac via ssh.
