Make sure you have updated xCode then under Build Settings, check the drop down options for Swift Compiler - Language.

Furthermore, You can download Xcode 8.x and 9.x from Apple Download Portal, if you've premium developer account (apple id). You can install & work with both Xcode 9 and Xcode 8.x in single (mac) system. (Make sure you've Command Line Tools supporting both version of Xcode, to work with terminal)

I was able to install swift 4.0 in XCode 10 with solution from here "Switching Swift Versions inside Xcode using Toolchains".

But in the end this did not help. I stuck on error:

< unknown>:0: error: unknown argument: '-enable-batch-mode'

Even disabling not helped. I got:

< unknown>:0: error: unknown argument: '-disable-batch-mode'
