Can I use an older version of Xcode. I'm not a developer and simply use it as a means to write simple C++ programs.

Or have you considered supporting a simplified version of Xcode or another App for amateur programmers like myself.

If you could provide me with some suggestions for another App, could you also help me to export my existing xproj files to the new App.

For simple C++ programs you can keep using the version of Xcode you're using. You're not going to gain anything by downloading and installing the latest version.

An alternative to Xcode for simple C++ programs is to use a text editor like TextMate, BBEdit, or Visual Studio Code. TextMate has a bundle that lets you run programs from inside the editor. If you use a text editor for your programs, you don't have to worry about exporting the Xcode project files. Put your source code files in a folder and open the folder in the text editor.
