after updating mac OS for macOS Sequoia Beta 15.0, and updating Xcode for last released version 15.4, Xcode can't open a pop up message say that "you can't use this version of Xcode with this version of macOS"

Right. This is expected. In general, new versions of macOS will not run old versions of Xcode. If you’re working on macOS 15 beta, use Xcode 16 beta.

Note that the reverse isn’t true. If you’re working on macOS 14, you can use either Xcode 15 or Xcode 16 beta. Use the former for building products that you intend to ship, and the latter for testing your compatibility with the beta Xcode and OS releases.
