xcode

Hello, I am trying to take a computing class. I have a macbook air running big sur (I cannot update it past that). I was told for the class that Big Sur would be sufficient. It appears that I don't have xcode however and I need it on my computer. I cannot find any version to download from Apple besides the newest- which isn't compatible with Big Sur.

I have found some older versions online but I don't know what to trust. I was told I could download it here but am not finding it. I think I need one of the versions in the 11s Please help!

All previously released Xcode versions are available as direct downloads on the Apple Developer site: https://developer.apple.com/download/all/?q=Xcode

I suggest Xcode 13.2, as it will run on macOS Big Sur 11.3, but not anything less than that version. If you're on macOS Big Sur, but less than version 11.3, then you can take a look at Xcode 12.5.1, which supports all macOS Big Sur versions.

Best of luck with your class!

If you're sure it's version 11.something, then go here: https://developer.apple.com/download/all/?q=xcode%2011.7

That's a search for the latest version 11, which was 11.7.
