Xcode does not run on Windows. You need a Mac to run Xcode.

The site Xcode Releases (xcodereleases.com) has download links for every Xcode version Apple has ever released along with system requirements. Xcode 8.2.1 is the latest version that will run on macOS 10.11.

My Xcode executable is named Xcode. I do not have any beta Xcode versions installed on my Mac. The active developer directory from Xcode-select is the following: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer I'm running macOS 10.15.7.

Xcode 10 is not officially supported on Big Sur. Apple is not going to fix Xcode 10 bugs now that Xcode 12 is out. Install an older version of macOS on a virtual machine and install Xcode 10.3 on that virtual machine if you need to use Xcode 10.3.

You do not need to be on Big Sur. I'm still on Catalina, and the Architectures build setting says Standard Architectures(Apple Silicon, Intel). When I build with the Release configuration, I get a fat binary with Intel and Apple Silicon versions of the app. What architectures are in your list? That may help someone provide an answer for you.

You have to create a new project in Xcode for each program you write. Creating a new project for each program is annoying when learning a language and writing small programs. I recommend using a text editor such as TextMate, BBEdit, or Visual Studio Code for learning C++. TextMate has a bundle that will let you run your programs from inside the editor. Visual Studio Code probably has an extension to run your programs inside the editor. I'm not sure if BBEdit has a way to run your programs from the editor.

When you create a new project, Xcode creates a main function for the program. If you create a new file and add another main function, you are going to get a compiler error because you have two main functions. The solution is to remove one of the main functions. The easiest thing to do is to avoid creating the main function when you create a new file.

For simple C++ programs you can keep using the version of Xcode you're using. You're not going to gain anything by downloading and installing the latest version. An alternative to Xcode for simple C++ programs is to use a text editor like TextMate, BBEdit, or Visual Studio Code. TextMate has a bundle that lets you run programs from inside the editor. If you use a text editor for your programs, you don't have to worry about exporting the Xcode project files. Put your source code files in a folder and open the folder in the text editor.

What happens when you build the new target? When you create a new target, it's going to appear red in the Products folder until you successfully build the target. If that does not fix the issue, you need to provide more detailed information for anyone to help. What kind of target are you creating? What do you mean by "the assign target buttons"?

Xcode is not available for iOS. You can download the Xcode 12.2 beta for Mac at Apple's Downloads and Resources page - https://developer.apple.com/xcode/resources/.

Apple added a SpriteView to SwiftUI in Xcode 12 to show a SpriteKit scene in SwiftUI. It requires iOS 14 or macOS 11.

If you create a new project, you will have a "clean sheet". As long as you don't name the project FoodTracker and store it in the same location on your Mac, you will be fine. If you do call the project FoodTracker and store it in the same folder, you'll lose the original project.

The Command Line Tool project template is available for me when I create a new project in Xcode 12.1. When you create a new Xcode project, what project templates are available when you click the macOS button at the top of the New Project Assistant?

If you downgrade your iOS version to whatever SDK comes with Xcode 10.1, you should be able to run your app on the device. I'm not sure how easy it is to downgrade an iOS device.
