Apples doesn't support this but in the Mac Pro community many people do this to get more out of there machines.
So if you have a Mac Pro Version 4,1 you can update the firmware to '5,1'.
Your going to have to look at what to do according to your machine.

Treehouse TeacherHi there! First, you need to upgrade your operating system (if possible). Older Macs will not support the newest version of macOS. First, make sure you make a backup of your file system preferably with Time Machine. Then go to the App Store and search for High Sierra. Download and install High Sierra onto your system. When it is done, proceed to download the newest verion of Xcode.
Hope this helps!
