Which Version of Xcode is suitable for mac os yosemite

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.

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

What is the latest xcode for Mac Pro 10.6.7 Snow Leopard?

all,
I noticed the latest xcode is 4.6, but somehow it won't install on my old Mac Pro 10.6.7 Snow Leopard. I am wondering how can I get it work? Do I need to upgrade my Mac OS? Or what is the latest xcode version I can run on my Mac Pro?
Thanks
The latest you can run on 10.6 is Xcode 4.2. If you update to 10.7 or 10.8 you can run Xcode 4.6.
If you are going to leave your OS on 10.6.7 Snow leopard then the latest Xcode you can run is 4.2
Either upgrade your Mac OS for XCode4.6
or
Use XCode 3.2, this will work like a charm.

Which version of xcode install on lion

Which version of xcode install on lion ? i use 4.0.2 but doesn't install and says should install snow leopard 10.6.6
You need XCode 4.1 for Lion.
Message when running XCode 4.2:
Xcode 4.2 requires Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard
Install the Xcode Tools version that supports Mac OS X 10.7 Lion.
If you have 4.2 on Lion run this:
sudo /Developer/Library/uninstall-devtools –mode=all
How about the latest? Xcode 4.1
If you aren't using the beta version (registered developers only) you have to get the version of XCode from the Mac App Store which is 4.1. That is the only version that will work with Lion.
I think you need to install directly from the App Store, not from the install disc.
