xcode version for El Capitan

I'm trying to update my XCode for El Capitan.


The App Store seems to download it (no clue where to find any progress bar on that) and it just spins for hours. Yes it's a big download but it doesn't progress overnight. So I chose to download it and I chose 11.3.1, which can't be run on El Capitan.


So does anybody know what version I'll need to download to install a "most recent runnable" XCode?


Cheers

The current Mac App Store version of Xcode (11.4) requires Catalina 10.15.2. You will need Xcode 8.2.1 for OS X El Capitan 10.11.6, and that particular version of Xcode can be found at the Apple Developer's download site, provided you have a free or fee developer's account.
