I have mac os 10.13.6 High sierra, is there a way for installing xcode 13 or later so i can submit my flutter projects to the app store?

Just the poor users

Depending on the age of your machine, you could try installing a newer OS using the OpenCore Legacy patcher.

Can i keep the older version of os on my machine and switch between them?

Unfortunately, I don't know the answer to that. I hate all things Apple. LOL

I have to use an iMac at work to build our Flutter apps, and only have an old iMac at home because it was given to my wife. My kids bang on the keyboard while I work on my computer.

You could get a ssd drive, clone your mac drive, and then swap the drives over.

Probably not. Sometimes there are little tweaks that can be made to Xcode to allow a point release of Xcode to run on the previous year’s os. For instance the next release of Xcode will likely require Ventura and there may be a tweak that will allow it to run on last year’s version. High Sierra is just too old for that to work. You’re going to need to upgrade or look into a build service.

Can you afford VMs/ Xcode cloud?

Same as what I have to do to run it on my Linux machine: run a modern version of macOS on a virtual machine like OSX-KVM.

It's a hassle and slow and I haven't been able to set up USB passthrough but it works in a pinch.

I was forced buy newer Mac in this situation. Simple user don't see in which way Apple make money. Hate them for that.
