Xcode 11 无法在 macOS Mojave 10.14.6 上安装

Question

This is my first ever post. I am new to programming with zero experience and have signed up for iOS app development course with one of the online education services.

Coming to the question, I have Mojave 10.14.6 on my mac(pro 13 inch 2015) and I'm trying to install Xcode 11 from the App store. The error/popup that I get when clicking on install is below.

" We Could not complete your purchase.

Xcode can't be installed on "Flash" because macOS version 10.15.2. or later is required.

"

I can't update my macOS to latest(Cataline) version since it is not yet compatible with my company's remote working requirements.

Is there a way that I could install Xcode without updating the OS?

Answer 1

xcode 11.4.x requires macOS 10.15.2 or later https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode_release_notes/xcode_11_4_release_notes

you can install xcode 11.3.x if you have macOS 10.14.6 https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode_release_notes/xcode_11_3_release_notes

Answer 2

Have you tried checking https://developer.apple.com/download/more/ ? I used it without having a paid developer account (the $99/year) – only signed in with my non-developer Apple ID (just needed to agree to the TOC).

By using this account you will be redirected to the https://developer.apple.com/download/ URL when clicking the downloads button; just add "more" behind it and you can access the file. I don't think it is worth it paying USD$99 when you are still learning; a lot of people learn ios development without paying the developer account. Just purchase it when you want to release your first app to the App Store.
