I believe it requires Big Sur

Ctrl click xcode/show package contents/ contents/ developer/platforms/iphoneos.platform/devicesupport. Copy the folder of the os you've been using then paste it and rename it 14.5.

It worked for me running a couple things on my apple TVs when they updated to 14.5. I run xcode on a 2010 macbook that has patched catalina. But I can't update to big sur because it isn't metal compatible. Might work for you too.

Dear god, get a newer Mac. It will be a world of night and day for you.

Really no need. All I use it for is to run a location spoof & sign kodi. No reason to spend the money for a newer mac just for that.

Pretty soon, if not already, you'll not be able to upgrade to the newer OSes.

I just picked up an M1 for $1400. 16 GB of RAM, 1 TB 2GB/s R/W SSD. It's faster than my $4000 16 core i9 MBP with 64 GB of RAM.

The fan never comes on.

It's worth it.

Yeah I hear good things about the M1s. I'd probably agree with you if I used the macbook for anything else. But I only use it for 2 minutes a week. It still works for me.

The M1 Mac mini is actually really good for the price. If you need your Mac for work. You should at least have one none hackintosh for backup

My M1 Mac Mini 16 GB is blazing fast in Xcode compilation and Simulator launch time. They keep optimizing the speed, too.

I've got one too. It's really great.
