RapidApi / PAW app not opening on M1 Mac with MacOS Monterey 12.6.2 - macos-monterey

Since upgrading my M1 Mac to macOS Monterey 12.6.2, RapidAPI app has stopped working.
It never opens up.
How to fix or debug this?
Tried it on another colleague's machine with macOS Monterey 12.6.1 and works fine for them.

This got fixed by using an App Cleaner and reinstalling RapidAPI app.
Seems like 12.6.2 OS upgrade messed with access to some existing paths used by this app. App Cleaner deleted all those files too and fresh installation launched successfully.
Re-installation after regular deleting of the app from /Applications did not work as any new installation kept referencing older paths.

Any version of Xcode is not installed/responding on Monterey 12.5

What's happening:
When it finishes up downloading and I try to open it up, it does not open and says "Application not responding".
What I have done:
Restarting my Mac
Reinstalling Xcode (5 different versions for over 20 times) on both the website and AppStore
Confirming I have more than enough storage
When I tried to use DevCleaner for Xcode, it said "~/Developer folder cannot be found, make sure you've installed Xcode" so I am assuming Xcode was not even installed on my Mac.
Is there anything else I can do to fix this?

Big Sur, React Native and launchPackager.command

Since upgrading to macOS Big Sur every time I run an React Native app with npx react-native run-ios it opens the package manager in TextEdit instead of a Terminal.
When running node_modules/react-native/scripts/launchPackager.command manually from Finder or the Terminal it works just fine. The file extensions is mapped to Terminal and I obviously have correct access rights on the file.
I've also removed node_modules and reinstalled them.
The latest beta of Big Sur seems to avoid this problem. Leaving the question here in case anyone else has the same problem with older betas.

How to update Xcode to 11.0, currently I am using macOS High Sierra (version 10.13.6), I can't update my macOS

How to install Xcode 11, In macOS High Sierra (version 10.13.6)
Hello I am a student, Eagerly learning ios Development, I bought the second hand mac from amazon, its pitts old, currently I am using macOS High Sierra (version 10.13.6), and Xcode Version 10.1. I can't able to upgrade to Xcode 11 due to old laptop. Due to this i can't learn swift 5, and I can't purchase new laptop
I tried couple of solutions from google answers but nothing worked for me,
error: SWIFT_VERSION '5.0' is unsupported, supported versions are: 3.0, 4.0, 4.2.
Before updating the xcode first you need to update the mac os by below steps & then update the Xcode it will work just fine
Download the latest version of the Catalina patch here. Open the Catalina Patcher app.
Click Continue.
Choose Download a Copy.
The download (of Catalina) will start - since it's almost 8GB it is likely to take a while.
Plug in a flash drive.
Choose 'Create a bootable installer' from the options.
Plug the bootable installer into the Mac you wish to update.
Restart the Mac while holding the Option/Alt key. This will cause the Mac open in Startup Manager.
Choose the bootable installer drive and Enter.
Now your Mac should open in Recovery.
Choose Reinstall macOS and wait for the new version of macOS to install.
After the installation has completed, you should restart the Mac in Recovery mode again, choosing the drive that contains the bootable installer.
Now choose macOS Post Install and the required patches will be installed on your Mac so that Catalina can work.
When the patches have been applied to choose Force Cache Rebuild.
Restart.

How can I submit iOS apps to the App Store with MacBook A1181?

Apple Store no longer accepts apps builded with Xcode less than 9.
I know that Xcode 9 requires at least Mac OS X 10.12 (Sierra) but this answer gave me hope:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/48692923/5321513
I've a MacBook A1181 (early 2009) and I've already tried to intercept and edit all the files I think are involved in checking the version with this terminal command:
grep "10.12" -R --include="Info.plist" /Applications/Xcode9.2.app 2>/dev/null
changing the parameter "Minimum system version" to "10.11.6" but also after restarting the OS I still obtain this message:
"OS X 10.11.6 is installed on your computer, the application requires
OS X 10.12.1 or later
#Argus (https://stackoverflow.com/users/3611996/argus) and #laoyur (https://stackoverflow.com/users/6662165/laoyur) said that they were able to make Xcode work without updating macOS.
How can I make Xcode 9 work without upgrading macOS or anyway how can I submit iOS apps to the App Store with MacBook A1181 (until I get a new Mac)?
After having tried everything I found only the solution to force the upgrade of MacBook A1181 from MacOS X 10.11 (El Capitan) to MacOS X 10.12 (Sierra) with this tool (after shutting off SIP from Recovery Terminal with "csrutil disable"):

and installing manually Xcode 9.2, downloaded from
https://developer.apple.com/download/more/
Deploying of debug releases cannot be done from current releases of iTunes 12, so I found this method inside Xcode:
Xcode => Window => Devices and Simulator
choosing the attached device and dragging the IPA into Installed Apps.
ps I had to apply also a patch for os system cache rebuilding and brightness control:

Thanks a lot to #dosdude1 for sharing all his knowledge about this problem.

React Native : Sample App crashes after upgrading to Mac 10.12.6

I recently updated my Mac to OS.12.6 Sierra.
Previously working React Native (nothing fancy just their AwesomeProject sample app) stopped working.
When I run react-native run-ios I am able to launch the simulator the app just appears, and then crashes back to the iphone app screen without any error messages.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled react-native-cli, upgraded brew, watchman and reinstalled node modules..but no luck
Anyone has any pointers on this ?
I was having the same issues too after upgrading to Sierra 10.12.6.
I resolved by running create-react-native-app <folder>
And then I ejected it with yarn run eject
yarn run ios after, and the app seems stable.
I found out the rootcause of the issue.
Looks like this is a bug with the latest version.
Facebook has acknowledged this as a bug.
The workaround is to create the project with an older version like 0.44
