If you can find a copy of an older Xcode DMG, then you can install it. The official downloads section on the Apple Developer site requires an account (basically an AppleID_. I believe you can make an account for free and only need to pay to distribute on the app store and run a build on a mobile device.
Alex, you most likely already have an AppleID. If so, try this link: Downloads https://developer.apple.com/download/. Once logged in, click the small "More" link to the upper right. Then scroll down to find the latest Xcode 11.3 which I think is the last one supported by Mojave. We recently had to do this for my wife's work laptop as she had the same issue.
If the login does not work, you need to open/associate your AppleID with a developer account. I don't remember anything about this as I did it so long ago now.
Note: This is not a new issue and a little Google-fu would have turned up info like https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10335747/how-to-download-xcode-dmg-or-xi... https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10335747/how-to-download-xcode-dmg-or-xip-file

I think you don't even need a developer account. I somehow remember that I've manually installed Xcode on my OSX 10.11 machine (which I can't upgrade to newer OSX versions because it's too old). But I might be wrong...

If you have an Apple Developer account, you can download old versions of Xcode back to 3.0 or so. You have to login to the developer site and find the Downloads section.

Yup, like I said, I was able to log in with my apple ID, and cool that it's free! Thanks for the tipo again! I'm all over it already, but I was struggling to find which one was the latest XCode I could install in Mojave... I'll try 11.3! I was also getting downloads from pirate bay... cool, so I'm installing Mojave in a separate partition here. I'll keep Catalina basically to test Pd things you guys need ;)
thanks a bunch
