When running this script, you may need to chmod the file first. Save the file to your system under ~/xcode-fix-connection.sh.

In terminal, run:

chmod u+x ~/xcode-fix-connection.sh

After that is complete, you should be able to run:

~/xcode-fix-connection.sh

You will enter your password, and then you should see output similar to this.
