Does Xcode 14.3 run in Sequoia?

Not all versions of Xcode work for my specialized software. If the new Xcode doesn’t work and I cannot fall back to 14.3, I can’t continue to work. Thanks in advance.

iMac 27″, macOS 14.6

I'm currently running Sonoma. Xcode 15 does not compile my projects, but I can compile with Xcode 14, which is lucky because the last earlier version of Xcode that worked would not run under Sonoma. If I upgrade to Sequoia and find that Xcode 16 won't work for my project and I cannot run Xcode 14, then I cannot continue development unless I can revert back to Sonoma, which at best is a hassle.

Why so eager to upgrade then?


To be honest, if your software doesn't even compile on Xcode 15 and you're running Sonoma, you're playing with fire. My software build fine everywhere, but I have no intention of moving beyond Ventura/Xcode 14.3 anytime soon. While I'm happy with Sequoia, Xcode has far too many showstopper bugs.

Thanks for the links, but they do not answer the question. My software is cross platform and relies on several other libraries/SDKs, each with their own nuances and incompatibilities.
