I'd really like to try El Capitan but I don't know if it is possible to run old Xcode on it, because it is critical for me now. Has anyone tried it?
You will need Xcode 8.2.
The recommended system specs to run Xcode 11 are: A Mac with macOS Catalina (10.15. 2) for Xcode 11.5 or macOS Mojave (10.14. 4) for Xcode 11.0 (see alternatives for PC here)
The short answer is no, not necessarily. Versions of Xcode, like any software, will have a minimum version of the operating system it requires to run. However, that isn't necessarily the latest version of the OS.
This version of Xcode: Includes SDKs for iOS 16, iPadOS 16, macOS 12.3, tvOS 16, and watchOS 9. Supports on-device debugging in iOS 11 or later, tvOS 11 or later, and watchOS 4 or later.
Run this command on Terminal:
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/MacOS/Xcode /dev/null
xCode 6.3.2 does run on the first El Capitan beta. I have tried building and running a swift app, this worked just like it should.
Although using xCode 6.3.2 does work on the first (and second) El Capitan beta. There might be some extra steps involved.
Submissions to the App Store will be rejected! if you are using a beta version of OSX
