How to Update Xcode 10.1 to Xcode 10.2.1 on Mac Mini Mid 2010 Running High Sierra

If you're a developer struggling with the limitations of using an old Mac, particularly the Mac Mini Mid 2010 running macOS High Sierra, this article is for you. We at CodeWithChris have found a solution to bypass the issue and update Xcode 10.1 to Xcode 10.2.1 on your older Mac.

Recently, Apple has updated Xcode to only work with the latest Mac OS Mojave (10.4.4), making it challenging for developers using old Macs to upgrade their operating system and develop in Swift 5 using Xcode 10.2.1. However, there is a workaround to ensure you can still update your Xcode.

Manual Updater Solution

If you're not sure whether you need an update or not, follow these steps:

1. Go to Apple Menu > About this Mac > Overview > System Report.

2. Select the Hardware section to view the Model Identifier, Boot ROM version, and SMC version numbers.

Check if the firmware version you see is newer than what's listed for your Mac. If it is, you don't need to apply the updates listed for that model.

Automatic vs Manual Firmware Updates

Some firmware updates are available as automatic updates, while others can be installed manually. If your Mac needs a firmware update and it isn't installed automatically, check if a manual updater is listed below.

Most firmware updates are automatically installed when you update or upgrade OS X. However, some may only be available for download and installation manually.

Updating Xcode 10.1 to Xcode 10.2.1 on your Mac Mini Mid 2010 running High Sierra might seem daunting, but with this workaround, you can bypass the limitations and continue developing in Swift 5 using the latest Xcode version. Remember to check for firmware updates and apply them manually if necessary.
