How to install Xcode 11, In macOS High Sierra (version 10.13.6)

Hello I am a student, Eagerly learning ios Development, I bought the second hand mac from amazon, its pitts old, currently I am using macOS High Sierra (version 10.13.6), and Xcode Version 10.1. I can't able to upgrade to Xcode 11 due to old laptop. Due to this i can't learn swift 5, and I can't purchase new laptop

I tried couple of solutions from google answers but nothing worked for me,

error: SWIFT_VERSION '5.0' is unsupported, supported versions are: 3.0, 4.0, 4.2.

What model of mac? Is your model eligible for HS update? – NSNoob
It cannot update to any latest OS, MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010), Processor 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7, Memory 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3, Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M 512 MB Intel HD Graphics 288 MB – sai
Well then sorry to say, you can't update to newer OS and therefore the newer Xcodes. – NSNoob

Before updating the xcode first you need to update the mac os by below steps & then update the Xcode it will work just fine

  1. Download the latest version of the Catalina patch here. Open the Catalina Patcher app.
  2. Click Continue.
  3. Choose Download a Copy.
  4. The download (of Catalina) will start - since it's almost 8GB it is likely to take a while.
  5. Plug in a flash drive.
  6. Choose 'Create a bootable installer' from the options.
  7. Plug the bootable installer into the Mac you wish to update.
  8. Restart the Mac while holding the Option/Alt key. This will cause the Mac open in Startup Manager.
  9. Choose the bootable installer drive and Enter.
  10. Now your Mac should open in Recovery.
  11. Choose Reinstall macOS and wait for the new version of macOS to install.
  12. After the installation has completed, you should restart the Mac in Recovery mode again, choosing the drive that contains the bootable installer.
  13. Now choose macOS Post Install and the required patches will be installed on your Mac so that Catalina can work.
  14. When the patches have been applied to choose Force Cache Rebuild.
  15. Restart.
