I needed to update the exercise files for my Core Data Fundamentals with Swift course on Pluralsight. Grabbing an older version of Xcode could help you here.Ģ) To upgrade a very old project to newer versions of Swift Maybe you’re struggling with the infamous “this code worked before…now it doesn’t…what changed?” and you just want to build your project with a prior version of Xcode in order to rule it out as the culprit. Perhaps you’re just wanting to see what things “used to be like”. I don't want to upgrade my mac version because this is a company laptop so my other development tools might get affected. For the latest version and a theoretically 'easy' installation, you can use the App Store. Two reasons off the top of my head though:ġ) To compare with your previous experience 21 I'm getting an error where I can't install XCode because my MacOS version is 10.15 when the requirement is version 11 or higher.
