Permission denied as a standard user #259

When using xcodes under a standard user (non-admin), the installation into /Applications will fail.

Downloading with aria2 (/Users/ci/homebrew/bin/aria2c)
(1/6) Downloading Xcode 14.2.0+14C18: 99 %
(2/6) Unarchiving Xcode (This can take a while)
Using regular unxip. Try passing `--experimental-unxip` for a faster unxip process
(3/6) Moving Xcode to /Applications/Xcode-14.2.0.app
“Xcode” couldn’t be moved because you don’t have permission to access “Applications”.

I suggest to ask for the credentials of an admin account and to execute the moving operation under this user.

Same issue. Any clue?

My workaround was to install xcodes for and use it with an admin user. Which is unpleasant, as I wanted to install xcodes via Homebrew -- but in my CI environment, Homebrew is installed with a custom prefix for my non-admin ci user.
