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.

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.
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 am taking a course on programming with flutter, and it needs Xcode 9 or higher. My mac is currently running 10.11.6 and it can't update any more. I was wondering if there was any way to get Xcode 9 on my mac?
Xcode9 needs OS X 10.12.6 or higher.
The latest Xcode you can install on OS X 10.11.6 is Xcode8 (version 8.2.1).
Here you can check which minimal OS version is required by which version of Xcode:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xcode#Version_comparison_table
Also for downloading any older version of Xcode you need a developer account (free account is enough) and you can download from here:
https://developer.apple.com/download/more/
Unfortunately I don't see older than Xcode9 there but I found Xcode 8.2.1 here
Xcode is only needed to run your Flutter apps on iOS devices and simulators. But to develop Flutter apps, you use another IDE your Mac can probably run: Android Studio, Visual Studio Code or Intellij IDEA.
You can still test your app using an Android emulator or device.
If you do need to upgrade, you can download a Sierra, High Sierra or Mojave patcher from dosdude1's website, and install a later version of macOS on your unsupported Mac (if your mac is in the list of supported devices, and I haven't tested it, so do it at your own risk).
I updated my Mac Mini to Mojave also updated to Xcode 10, I've Xcode server configured in my Xcode 9.4.1 it was running even having some issues like couldn't able to install IPA directly into the device. Today I updated my Xcode and tried to update the Xcode server, it is throwing an error while starting Apache. Here is the screen shot.
I had the same problem with a new macOS 10.14 installation.
Any chance you have the latest version of macOS Server (5.7.1) installed too? Apparently the Xcode Server initialization process assumes that if you have macOS Server installed, then it can find a bundled version of Apache.
Since Apple gutted macOS Server recently, that assumption no longer holds, and the helper tools crash during initialization (check for xcsreciperunner crash logs).
I was finally able to turn on Xcode Server only after deleting the macOS Server app. Hope this helps.
I'm new to iOS development. I just installed Xcode 3.2.4 and the iOS 4.1 SDK on my Intel iMac running Snow Leopard. According to the docs, I first need to create a development profile by specifying a device (which in my case is an iPod touch 4G), but the Organizer window that I open up after starting Xcode comes up fully blank.

In addition to that, when I click on "Create a new Xcode project for Mac OS X or iPhone OS" on the Xcode welcome screen, I do not have an option to start a new "Cocoa Touch" project.

It sounds like you may not have the iOS SDK installed, or installed properly. Also, most developers will have upgraded to Xcode 3.2.5 a long time ago, so we won't be able to accurately compare what you're seeing to our own installations. Let me strongly suggest that you download the latest iOS SDK and install that. Once you get the current SDK installed, I think both issues that you're asking about will go away.
