Why is XCode ignoring my Deployment Target? - ios

I have an iPad running iOS 7.0.4 connected to my machine. I am attempting to deploy an Ionic (Cordova) project to the device.
My Deployment Target is set to 7.0:
However, I continue getting the "deployment target" error message:
How can I get XCode to successfully deploy to my iPad?

I figured it out. Cordova version 4.0.0+, upon which Ionic depends, requires iOS 8.0+. It is hard-coded into the platforms/ios/cordova/build.xcconfig file:
IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET = 8.0
This hard-coded value was overriding any changes I made in the Xcode GUI. I was able to get my project to deploy on my device by changing 8.0 to 7.0 in build.xcconfig.
For others who are also using Ionic/Cordova, I suppose the solution is disappointing but simple: only target iOS 8.0 and up.

Simulator is not working with upgrading xcode 10?

After updating the Xcode 9.4.1 to Xcode 10, no one simulator is working to build the iOS application.
My iOS Application was building and running perfectly on Xcode 9.4.1
I have multiple warnings like this:
warning: The iOS Simulator deployment target is set to 7.0, but the
range of supported deployment target versions for this platform is 8.0
to 12.0.
ScreenShot for Xcode10 error :
And showing Multiple command produced in logs.
I have tried following approaches :
Delete derived data
Restart xcode
Create simulator manually from Xcode>Device/Simulator
Not one works for me. Please guide me.
The simple way is to come back to the legacy build system, it seems to be a problem of the new build system.
Open XCode, then click on File -> Project Settings.
Into the Shared Project Settings choose Legacy build system to the build system.
in xcode 10 : File -> workspaceSetting -> build System

cannot download the app on ios version 9.2

i launch my app but when i start it download on device of ios 9.2 an error message shown "The app required ios version 9.3" what is the reason. i setup deployment target to 9.3 in xcode and my test device where also 9.3
Option 1.-> setup deployment target to 9.2 or below in xcode
option 2-> update your device with 9.3 version
If the deployment target of your app is 9.3, you cannot install this app to earlier versions. Change deployment target to 9.0 or earlier to support devices with earlier versions of iOS.
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/IDEs/Conceptual/AppDistributionGuide/ConfiguringYourApp/ConfiguringYourApp.html
The deployment target setting specifies the lowest operating system version that your app can run on.
then if you set 9.3, you app cannot run in ios version lower than 9.3
If you want it to run on IOS 9.2, you have to set the deployment target to 9.2. And it will work.
As Apple says:
The deployment target setting specifies the lowest operating system version that your app can run on. For example, the lowest available setting for iPad apps is iOS 4.3.
Change your project deployment target to 9.0 or other but you are set deployment target version after and equal os version to test in device before version doesn't test.

IOS: How to do twitter integration using Fabric for ios8 and ios9

For ios9 Twitter integration using Fabric is working fine but when I am doing it for ios8 its showing all the 3 error
1) Could not build module 'TwitterKit'
2) Could not build module 'TwitterCore'
3) Cocoa/Cocoa.h' file not found
Try setting deployment target to iOS 8 (for project and target)in xcode 7 or above.I faced similar problem when i tried building using xcode 6.3.Also you can't iOS 7 as deployment target as TwitterCore doesn't support for iOS 7.Hope it helps :)
Edit
setting deployment target for project
For setting deployment target for target
I have used xcode 7.2 for running on device.It doesn't give any error.

Simulators absent in xcode 6.2

I have made a project in Xcode and copied the project to another system. When I opened the project on the other system, there was no option to select a Simulator device (only real Device). How can i resolve this issue?
Changing deployment target from 4.3 to 6 solved this issue, but if you still have problem go to project -> Build setting and see this if you have selected iOS because on OS X it will not show simulators
Here is your solution (if you haven't found already :)
Under Your project Build Settings
select Deployment section.
change iOS Deployment Target to a version iOS 5.0 or less.
now you can go ahead and change the deployment target from device to simulator!
In my case the deployment target was set to version 5.1 and I still am running snow leopard OS with appropriate JARS copied from xCode 4.3 to make it run with a device running iOS 5.1. However, my simulators do not yet support version 5.1 so till I changed the deployment target to lower version e.g. 5.0 or 4.2 it won't let me run on simulator.

XCode Compatibility Issue with different versions

I recently made a project using XCode 4.5.1 on iOS 10.8.
I want to run this project on a different computer using XCode 4.4.1 on iOS 10.7.5.
It is currently giving me the error:
XCode cannot run using the selected device.
No provisioned iOS devices are available with a compatible iOS version. Connect an iOS device with a recent enough version of iOS to run your application or choose an iOS simulator as the destination.
Is there a way to open the project on the other computer without having to redo all the delegations and such?
I have tried turning off AutoLayout and running it on the iOS 10.7.5 computer and it is still giving the same error.
Thanks!
Change the deployment target to the ios version you want to run the project on.
