Can not open Xcode 10.3 on a Mac running macOS Mojave 10.14.6

For some reason, I need the Xcode to be installed on my Macbook Air.

I am running macOS Mojave 10.14.6.

The release note of Xcode10.3(Apple Developer Documentation) says:

Xcode 10.3 requires a Mac running macOS 10.14.3 or later.

The Xcode 10.3 was smoothly installed from Mac App Store.

But I can not open the Xcode 10.3 on my Macbook Air running OS 10.14.6!

A dialog box comes up with an error message:

<< check with the developer to make sure Xcode works with this version of macOS >>

Could anyone give me a hint on how to solve this issue?

Thanks!

Aside from your error, –

MacBook Air (Early 2014) can be upgraded to macOS Big Sur, and run the prior version of Xcode (13.2).

Xcode 10.3 limits deployment to iOS 8-12.4; macOS 10.6-10.14.6; tvOS 9-12.4; watchOS 2-5. I.e. not the current versions. Xcode 10.3 doesn’t allow submissions to the App Store anymore, as that requires Xcode 13 now.

macOS Big Sur is compatible with these computers - Apple Support

If you insist on Mojave anyway, then Xcode 11.3.1 is available to you, i.e. newer than 10.3.
