Description
My AppleID is under Federated Authentication in my company's Business Manager.
This means that I cannot login with a standard password and will have to authenticate via Azure AD (OAuth like solution).
Is there any way that I can authenticate, when downloading new versions of Xcode?
I tried to type-in my AppleID and just pressed the "Return" key on the password prompt and got this error:
unexpectedSignInResponse(statusCode: 403, message: Optional("-22320: Federated Authentication is required."))

Research direction
Start by tracing xcodes' existing Apple ID authentication flow and the handling of the reported 403 response. Investigate how Azure AD federated authentication must be initiated, then verify that a federated Apple ID can authenticate and download a new Xcode version successfully.
