Is possible install Xcode 6 on a Mac running OS X Mavericks or do I need upgrade to Yosemite? With Xcode 5, it was necessary to upgrade from Mountain Lion to Mavericks.

You can install Xcode 6.2 on Maverick provided the OS X version is 10.9.5 at least.

The downloads for older Xcode versions can be found here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/10335943

  • Do you have a source for your answer of ≥10.9.5? – grg Nov 22 '14 at 12:36

    I have personally experienced the very problem of installing Xcode 6 on OS X 10.9.3 where I have been asked to upgrade my OS X from 10.9.3 version to install latest Xcode 6.0. – ldindu Nov 22 '14 at 12:38

    Xcode 6.2.x still work on 10.9.5, but Xcode 6.3+ requires OS X 10.10, full stop: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xcode#Xcode_5.0_-_7.x_.28with_arm64_support.29 – lambshaanxy Jun 17 '15 at 12:09
  • I've confirmed Xcode 6.2 works on Mavericks 10.9.5. The dmg I found from developer.apple.com: http://adcdownload.apple.com/Developer_Tools/Xcode_6.2/Xcode_6.2.dmg – Quinn Comendant Aug 30 '15 at 22:52

This page shows the system requirements for each version of Xcode and which SDK version is compatible. The latest version of Xcode that will work on Mavericks is 6.2

Yes, Xcode 6 is supported on Mavericks, providing you are running Mavericks 10.9.4 or later.

Xcode 6 requires a Mac running OS X version 10.9.4 or later or 10.10.

    that is true for Xcode 6.0. But 6.3 for instance requires 10.10 and I cannot find an official list with the minimum osX for each Xcode version – Radu Simionescu Jun 05 '15 at 08:07
