MacBook Pro from late 2013 can only run up through 10.15 Catalina.

The latest version of X-Code will not run under Catalina. if you are serious about developing for current Macs and iPhones, you need a newer development computer.

You may be able to locate and download an older version of X-Code on the developer website -- but it will NOT be acceptable for submitting your Apps to the store.

—Xcode the ~12GB installer must decompress to run the installation size, plus temporary storage, and the final storage requirement. you don't have sufficient installation storage available to use Xcode, you need ~100 GB of free storage.

Developers—App Store submissions require current Xcode.

Xcode older versions—

I feel really sad and disappointed in the company called Apple,

its really sad that a company as wealthy as apple will be forcing me, a person in a poor and underdeveloped country to look for unavailable money to buy a new laptop to replace a mac that is bearly eight years old without considering how long the I had to save to be able to get the mac that is currently being used

Its really sad

I used to be a big fan of apple and Steve Jobs and Tim Cook but In my next life, I will not buy a mac or even try to do apple development again.

But I can install this older xcode version ()v12) write my code, and once i am ready to publish, I look for a new mac, right.

Because right now, I cannot afford to buy a more recent mac

yes, that will likely work.

But you may miss out on some of the newer stuff like Swift playgrounds.
