At the moment, I would like to code something for ios just for fun and to learn new things. I have a VM Workstation 15 Pro, but I only have a macOS 10.13 system for use, so if I run it von my Workstation and try to install Xcode he won't let me, because then the only message I get is:
"can only be installed on 10.13.6 version"
How and where can I get this version (without the help of Apple ...) or is there a way to avoid all this?
Update the macOS version in your VM from 10.13 to 10.13.6. Open the Mac App Store in your 10.13 VM and check for updates. From there you should be able to update your VM to 10.13.6, allowing you to install Xcode.
Another alternative is to install an older version of Xcode from Apple's developer site.
In order to download older versions of XCode you have to have an apple account and then sign the developer TOS to access old versions of software in the downloads -> more section of the developer site at apple.com. You can determine which version of XCode will be compatible with your version of mac OS by referring to the column "min macOS to run" in the tables on the wikipedia page for XCode
If you want to download it without Apple you will probably have to find an alternate source to download XCode (which I'm guessing breaks their TOS)

I have just upgraded my MacOs operating system on one of my older machines from El Capitan to Big Sur. I subsequently tried to open xcode but I get the error:
In order to use “Xcode”, you need to update to the latest version. The version of Xcode installed on this Mac is not compatible with macOS Big Sur. You have “Xcode” 7.3.1. Download version 14.1 for free from the App Store.
When I go to the App Store, the only available xcode that I can see is 14.1 which is for Ventura and therefore not compatible with my current set up and so of no use. How to upgrade to say xcode 13, compatible with Big Sur? I hope it is possible without having to manually download xip file from developers section of apple.
The App Store will only let you download and install the latest version of Xcode.
You answered the question in the last sentence. Download Xcode from Apple's developer site. The site Xcode Releases has Apple's download links for every version of Xcode. Xcode 13.2.1 is the latest version that runs on macOS 11.
Looking for a Developer Image for my iPhone 5s so I'm able to run an app. I believe my iPhone has the 12.1 OS and I'm currently running Yosemite 10.10.5 on my Macbook. I tried 7.3 Xcode and it won't run. Can't run newer versions of Xcode either due to my OS. I read that I can download Xcode 10 and then copy the developer files over, but I wasn't able to extract the .xip files.
It is available for registered Apple Developers on Apple's Developer Site:
You can find all old Xcode versions there.
What version of Xcode should I use?
I tried installing 4.2 but got this cryptic error message
If i wasn't so annoyed I'd find this funny
Is there any reason you're still on OS X 10.7.2? If you can, update your Mac to 10.7.4. As for Xcode, the current version is 4.3.2. You can download it from the Mac App Store.
The latest stable Xcode release is 4.3.2 as of May 31st, 2012. I believe there was a version for Snow Leopard (10.6) that would not work with Lion (10.7). You'll need to be a member of the developer program (free, I believe) to get the free download here.
I have osx 10.7.X and need to install Xcode. The late xcode 5.X versions which is available in app store is not compatible with the 10.7. Xcode4.5.1 cltools is compatible.
Older versions are difficult to locate and after quite a lot of search inside developer.apple.com located the Older versions of Xcode here
Where can I get Xcode for my older computer? I need to have gdb installed because I'm supposed to use it in a class I'm taking. Thanks.
Xcode 3.2.6. You may have to log in before pasting the link into your browser.
Xcode 4.2 will run on 10.6 Snow Leopard. You have to download it from Apple's Developer website, as the version on the Mac App Store (4.3.2) now is Lion only. You may need to update to 10.6.8 as well, which you can do by running Software Update.
I run MAC OSX 10.6.7 and have Xcode 3.2.6 and I do NOT have an ADC account.
My Xcode is missing Iphone SDK, from where and how can find/download it? and which SDK do you recommend, 3.0 ?
Get a developer account and download it from there. IIRC, the dev account is free and will get you an iOS SDK for the current shipping iOS version. To run something on a device requires a $99/year fee.
iOS 4.x is the current shipping version.
bbum is right that a developer account will allow you to download XCode for free. However, you need to select an old version of XCode as the current version is for more recent operating systems (Mountain Lion at the time of this answer).
After logging in to your free Apple developer account, go to this link (apple developer downloads) and search through old versions of XCode. The most recent that will work for Snow Leopard is XCode 3.2.6 with iOS SDK 4.3.
It's a very big file (over 4 GBytes!). Good luck.
