Can't run old version of Xcode on macOS Sierra - xcode

I just tried to run old versions of Xcode on macOS Sierra.I've tried these versions:4.x,5.x,6.x. But I failed. All time I'm trying to launch old version it says that version of Xcode is incompatible with my macOS.How to fix this?Or I need to install old version of Mac OS X?

I think the only way to do is to change temporarily your system version.plist to a older Mac OS X like 10.6.8 is not wrong but you can't run old Xcode's officialy on macOS Sierra I could run Xcode 6 by just changing my version or dual boot Yosemite.
Sierra is only compatible with 7, 8, 9 those versions of Xcode can run on Sierra.
Look on stack overflow for a tutorial that illustrates how to change Mac OS version plist.

I think you should uninstall the old version and then install Xcode whose version is higher than 7, which may be useful.

Which version of Xcode is suitable for Mac OS X Yosemite?
Which version of Xcode is suitable for MacOS Yosemite ...
Use Xcode 6 for MacOS Yosemite (10.10).
Xcode 6 is kind of disjoint. Its pretty typical considering Xcode supports OS X and iOS across OS releases. Xcode 6.0 - 6.2 was released for MacOS Mavericks (10.9). Xcode 6.3 - 6.4 was released for MacOS Yosemite (10.10).
It looks like Xcode 7.0 - 7.2.1 is applicable as well. Also see the Xcode 5.0 - 6.x and Xcode 7.0 - 8.x support on Wikipedia.
If you need to use the command line to determine versions of what you have, then see Determine xcode command line tools version on Apple Stack Exchange.

How to install Xcode 7 beta on OS X Yosemite 10.10.3?

I need to make installation of Xcode 7 on OS X Yosemite 10.10.3.
I can't update an operating system above version 10.10.3 because on a notebook Hackintosh is installed. And it isn't updated correctly unfortunately.
I know that it is impossible to install the final Xcode 7 version on OS X Yosemite 10.10.3.
But it can be possible to install the beta version?
What maximum beta version Xcode 7 can be installed on OS X Yosemite 10.10.3?
Unfortunately No.
But over the years I have built a lot of hackintoshes and will be quiet happy to help you debug yours, I personally use a hackintosh 10.10.5 on a AMD build and use Xcode 7.1 to learn swift.
Well if there is hope, you can try messing around with the info.plist and see if that helps.
Try changing:
minimumOSVersion 10.10.5
to
minimumOSVersion 10.10.1
