React Native requires XCode >= 14.3. Found 14.2.

The error is self explanatory: you need to update XCode version.
Please update XCode version and get back to use if the issue persists

The problem is xcode 14.3 requires MacOS 13.3, my current macbook (MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015)) only offers an update to MacOS 12.7.4.
Is there a way I can run react-native without making these updates?
Maybe downgrading the react-native to a specific version...

The same issue exactly is there any solution for this?

Nope sorry. Those limitations are imposed by Apple and outside our control

[mustafaerken]

I have same issue:

Device: MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015).
macOS: 12.7.4 (Monterey).
xCode: 14.2 (This is the last version for my MacBook Pro 2015.).
ReactNative: I tried 0.71.7 and 0.74.1

There is a problem when we open projects or pod install.

[mustafaerken]

I fixed my problem with making new project with;

npx react-native init App01 --version 0.71.7

I hope this helps.
