My current xcode is Xcode 3.2.6. It has iOS4.3. Can I use XCode 3.2.6 with iOS5 sdk. Is iOS5 sdk available as a stand alone download
Nope, as far as I understand you would need to migrate to xcode 4 if you wish to work with iOS5

I am building an iOS app using Swift 2.2, XCode 7.3.1, which is going to go live very soon. I upgraded my iPhone to iOS 10.0 and now when I try to run my code in my iPhone, I am getting the error -
At this stage of my project I don't want to upgrade to XCode 8.0 and use Swift 3.0. Is there any way I can make my code written in XCode 7.3.1 work in iOS 10. My code is working well for iPhones having iOS versions 9.3.2
Thanks
No, Xcode 7.3.1 does not support iOS 10. You cannot. You will have to upgrade to Xcode 8.
And, you should upgrade because it also provides you Swift 2.3 which will help you run latest SDK for iOS 10 etc and the transformation is automatic.

To detect device in XCode you must install software with appropriate version or system will show you the message you have mentioned in the question.
A workaround as per your wish is that every time you make an IPA of your release and install it in the device you want to run with it (that could be a hard time if you deploy several times a day). Remember there is an upward compatibility but no downward compatibility that is if your deployment target is 8 or above you can run the IPA on device having iOS 8 or above but not in iOS 7.
Perhaps you may get some issues on running it on new iOS because of the some obsolete or new features, and to fix that you must upgrade XCode and compile your code on it.
Hope that helps!
Copy the folder 10.0 (14A345) in DeviceSupport folder of Xcode8 to
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport
It works for me :)
I have an existing app that need to be made compatible to ios7. I am new to ios app development. I have following things:
1. Macbook with MAC OS 10.6.8
2. X code - 4.2
is it possible to recompile the existing app using above to make it compatible for ios7?
(I know i need atleast MAC OS 10.8 for xcode5)
A little detailed explanation is highly appreciable as I am still figuring out how it works.
If not what all I would need to achieve same? If yes, how?
Its must to have xcode 5 or 5.1 to make app ios7 compatible.
Nope. iOS7 requires Xcode 5+ which requires mavericks. You can upgrade for free to mavericks and get Xcode.
Just open the App Store and upgrade to mavericks (5.3 GB) and then get Xcode 5.1
iOS7 developemnt only available with xcode5 and xcode5 is support minimum os version is MAC OS10.8 so first off all you have to upgrade os then xcode also then you can do your task.
From 1st Feb every app must be build in Xcode 5 and above as per apple declaration
I don't know about your existing app, but iOS 7 can run iOS 6 app, it shouldn't be an issue to just let your old app runs.
Of course, you will have to have xCode 5 in order to run and debug on iOS 7 device and simulator.
I just successfully updated my Xcode tool to 5.1 version and when I check Downloads option in preference section then I noticed there is no option to download ios 6.0 simulator.(Please check attached image)
So how can I access ios 6.0 simulator in Xcode 5.1?
Please follow this procedure to upgrade your xCode
Upgrade xCode
At last change deployment target to access both IOS 6 and IOS 7 simulators.
There are basically no difference between IOS 6.0 and IOS 6.1, in 6.1 apple just added three header file with few method in MapKit framework and did little modification in UIKit. So I don't think that you should bother about that.
You can check the modification here
Is it possible to create an application that could be executed on iOS 5 devices with the new Xcode 5? On the software update page, within the app store, there is an Xcode 5 update available, but i am wondering if it would be a wise thing to do to update to Xcode 5.
My major concern is whether i could still create applications targeting iOS 5, and if i could still work on old projects targeting iOS 5.
I have searched through SO but seems there is not much related resources yet. Please shed some light on this. Thanks!
in xcode5 Preference you can download the simulator for iOS 5.0, iOS 5.1, iOS 6.0, iOS 6.1 like below image from Xcode Download preference:
After set Deployment Target:-
here you getting option for testing which simulatore:-
One thing of note:
The iOS 5 simulator is only available for download if you're running Xcode 5 under Mountain Lion. If you're running Mavericks then you can't download or use it.
Yes , you can create and test your application on iOS 5.0 simulator too in Xcode 5.
They would just be created with the iOS 7.0 SDK as the base SDK
Yes you can still do App compatible with iOS5
Just set the in your projets settings (General tab)
But you have to be aware that by default, XCode will use the last SDK (7.0), this means that your app will have the new iOS7 native design on iOS7 devices
Yes it is possible, in the project configuration you have to select the correct Deployment Target (in your case 5.0).
The only problem is that you are creating an app with the new SDK 7.0, so your application will use the new user experience.
I've recently updated xCode to the newest version. (which includes iOS SDK 6.1) The problem is, that i want to make my apps available for all iOS versions, starting at version 5.0. Is this even possible?
Best regards
Go to Xcode->Preferences->Downloads->install Simulators to test all iOS versions.
For setting your application minimum iOS version, goto Targets->Summary->Deployment Target->Set to 5.0
Hope this helps you..
