Sep 15, 2016 Issue compiling on OSX 10.11.6 with Xcode 8.0 #8741. Closed wbchen99 opened this issue Sep 16, 2016 8 comments Closed. 1.9 : Xcode 8 dropped 10.11 SDK, get it from Xcode 7.3.1 2.0 : Xcode 8 cannot always link i386 for OS X 10.5, use the Xcode 3 linker for this arch too. Force use of legacy assembler with GCC 4.x. The latest Xcode running under 10.11.6 would be Xcode 8.2.1. You can download Xcode 8.2.1 on apple developers site. I do not remember which SDKs Xcode 8.2.1 comes.
Xcode versions prior to 7 are not supported on OS X El Capitan Beta 3. And from the Xcode 7 beta 4 release notes: Xcode 6.x has known compatibility issues when run on OS X version 10.11 El Capitan. It is strongly encouraged that you use Xcode 7 when running on OS X El Capitan.
Question or issue on macOS:
I’m just updated my Mac to OS X 10.11 El Capitan DP 2, and I disappointed that it does not support Xcode 6.3.2
Now, how do I work? I have a project to do, and it’s not a good time to convert my project to Swift 2/Xcode 7 since it’s impossible to submitting at this time?
How to solve this problem?
Solution no. 1:
Open terminal and use this command
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/MacOS/Xcode </dev/null &>/dev/null &

Xcode For El Capitan 10.11 6

I know it doesn’t help you much now, but as a general rule of thumb, I recommend not upgrading anything in your build process if you’re on a deadline and you can’t easily revert.
