But, as I said, you don't need to use the latest version of Xcode to develop/publish an app.Finally, the much awaited Apple's most advanced Mac operating system has been released at WWDC 2017, and the newest version of macOS is now called macOS High Sierra 10.13 which is a successor of its previous macOS version. Having said all that, the latest release version of Xcode (9.4.1) requires macOS High Sierra 10.13.2 to run, so in that sense it does require the latest major version of macOS (although not the latest minor version). In fact, you don't necessarily have to use Xcode at all. Developers do not have to use the latest version of Xcode to develop and publish apps to the Mac or iOS App Stores. This highlights the crux of the assumption in your question - that you need the latest version of Xcode to develop and publish apps. Xcode 9.3 requires as a minimum macOS High Sierra 10.13.2 to run.


However, that isn't necessarily the latest version of the OS. Versions of Xcode, like any software, will have a minimum version of the operating system it requires to run.
