As I am currently in development of an App for iOS, I also need a Mac. Currently, I am working on the Mac of my girlfriend. But, it turns out that I need a newer version of XCode which is not supported on Monterey. I also can't update Mac OS since it is not supported on this hardware anymore (also can't do it on her machine - it's hers). Long story short, I am now in the process of getting my own Mac. Unfortunately, I am not really familiar with the different Macs out there and wanted to know about longevity or longterm support of these machines regarding OS Updates. I want to be able to update also in the next cycles. As I do not have too much Budget, I wanted to find a refurbished one, but one that still supports OS Updates for a while so that I do not have the same situation next year and have a machine then which also can't update XCode/Mac OS. Is there anything you would recommend?

When I launch XCode 14.2 on Monterey 12.7.3 I get the following crash and I really can't start it. What's the problem here and what can I do?

Hi, as I had too little disk space, I deleted the content of the directory /Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/... (all Subfolders with the IDs) and *.json file Since then, my XCode 14.2 (on Monterey 12.6.7) does not start anymore. I uninstalled it and re-installed it again via App Store and also tried with the XCodes App. But, it still crashes when I try to launch it. What can I do now to get it running again?
