I get following error:
The version of Xcode installed on this Mac is not compatible with macOS Big Sur. Download the latest version for free from the App Store.
This is on a M1 Mac (ARM, Apple Silicon).

Is this issue related to M1 chip or the latest macOS BigSur? Thanks in advance. – JTN Feb 02 '21 at 15:59

From the message it looks like it's due to BigSur but I haven't tried it on a non-M1 @JTN – atineoSE Feb 02 '21 at 17:04

@MJQZ1347 On Intel Macs, Xcode 11.7 opens in macOS 11.7.5 without any trickery – ReinstateMonica3167040 Mar 30 '23 at 13:10

I was able to bypass the macOS denial-prompt, to run Xcode 11.7 on Big Sur (11.0.1) on my M1 MacBook Air, by running the executable directly from Terminal– for example:
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/MacOS/Xcode
I just needed to compile, archive, and export a specific app, and it at least worked for that.

2It open and compiles, thanks! However, if I try to run in simulator, the debugger cannot be attached, I always get "Could not attach to pid / Failure Reason: LLDB provided no error string" – atineoSE Dec 08 '20 at 15:08

Hello Michael, Do you have any previous experience about developer termination? – Jonec. Aug 05 '22 at 00:59

I wonder if the method described in https://stackoverflow.com/a/70300916 works in this instance. – ReinstateMonica3167040 Aug 05 '22 at 17:17
