Can my iOS published app, targeted for ios 7 built in xcode 5, run in ios 10.2 devices? - ios

I am creating an app via Cordova. The build is complete in android ,and now I am creating an app for iOS.
I am running OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion and the max version XCODE is 5.1. The maximum version of iOS SDK that Xcode 5 supports iOS 7 SDK.
So I need to know before hand whether my app targeting iOS 7 will run on the latest devices ?
Forgive me if my question is a bit naive. I am new to iOS/ mac environment.

I suggest you to update the Xcode to the lasted version(8.2.1), and you can test your app in Xcode, with the simulotar 10.2(if you update the Xcode the lasted version, simulator will also have the lasted os version).
I am not mean this is test your cordova app if can run in device with 10.2 version, this step is test your cordova app if is operation normally in 10.2 version, if it will have some issues in this version, this is necessary.

Will apps run on the latest version of IOS if they were developed in an older version of Xcode?

My Mac only lets met run Xcode 13.2, which is an older version of Xcode.
If I develop an app using this version of Xcode and publish it to the App store, will it be able to run on the latest version of IOS on iPhone (IOS 16 and above)?
Please let me know, thanks!

Can we install iOS 10 Simulator on Xcode 7.3

I want to test my app on iOS 10 simulator. But I don't want to build the project using Xcode 8 yet. So, can i install iOS 10 simulator in to Xcode 7.3?
I was just checking the apple developer forum
Below is the details
Xcode 7.3
Xcode 7.3 requires a Mac running OS X version 10.11 or later. It includes updated support for iOS 9.3, watchOS 2.2, OS X version 10.11.4, and tvOS 9.2 as well as many feature improvements.

Cannot deploy iOS app to App Store though Xcode is latest

I am trying to deploy an iOS app to the AppStore but I am getting following error;
Apps and app updates submitted to the App Store must be built with Xcode 5.1.1 or later, and iOS 7 SDK.
I am constantly facing this problem although I am using Xcode 6.4 and target SDK 8.0. For time being I installed Xcode 7 beta version but later on I uninstalled beta version. I am wondering if beta version is interfering with the build process.
I am facing the same issue. It seems the issue is because you are on OS X El Capitan. See this: https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/8841. It seems Apple has started to reject binaries from XCode 6.4 on El Capitan which they were accepting before. I think the only solution is to downgrade to Yosamite, re install latest XCode and then submit!

Can I publish an app to the AppStore while having iOS 9 beta installed on my iPhone and using Xcode 6?

Prior to submit an app to the AppStore we must generate an Archive, and have an iPhone or an iPad connected to Xcode during that time.
If I upgrade to the iOS 9 beta, will I still be able to do this (generate the archive from Xcode 6)? Or will I encounter any issues if I upgrade?
Thank you!
You can install two (or more) versions of Xcode on your Mac, beta versions of Xcode for testing, and the official released version for App Store build and submission purposes. Currently, for instance, install Xcode-beta 7.x to directly run and debug test builds on an iPhone running an iOS 9 beta, and install Xcode 6.x to build with the iOS 8 SDK and submit to the App Store. You can (and should) also still test the latter build using Ad Hoc deployment.
Dont do that ! It is risky.
XCode cannot run an app into your iPhone/iPad, if the iPhone OS version is greater than the higher iOS version in XCode.
It is risky. If you install iOS 9 bĂȘta on iPhone, and XCode has only iOS 8.3, you wont be able to run an app from XCode--to-->iPhone
Ok running is not publishing.
But you know Apple/XCode... So strict, minimize the risk. Dont do that.
Beta is NOT for publishing & public releases.

ios 7.0 upgrade issue

I have iPhone 4 with iOS 6.1.3 which is recently upgraded to iOS 7 now I need to test my app on that iPhone with iOS 7. I have SDK Xcode 4.6 and OS X 10.7.5
I got some small issues here due to iOS 6.1.3 upgrade to iOS 7:
I'm unable to test my app on that iPhone 4 with my current SDK (Xcode 4.6). So, if I need to update it to Xcode 5.0 but its not
working with OS X 10.7.5.
If I upgraded my OS X 10.7.5 to 10.8.5 will it work?
I have tried to downgrade iOS but I'm unable to do that because Apple stopped the signing for the previous versions.
First you need to upgrade your mac os to 10.8 then only you can install xcode 5. From xcode 5 you can take build in the device which is having IOS 7.

You have to upgrade your X-code version 5 and after upgrading u test your app in your phone
First of you have to upgrade your SDK' to to Xcode 5,IOS7 ....In the deployment target please use IOS 6 or relatively your iPhones IOS...Please remember developemnt target and deployment target are different....
