Wikipedia said that the minimum iOS
Deployment Target for Xcode
6's was iOS
7. I just checked, with XCode
6 GM listed on the page now, the minimum iOS
Deployment Target has been changed to iOS
5.1.1.
I do need to support iOS
6.0, and would like to confirm this with official Xcode
document. I searched and could not find this particular information. Can someone share the link to an official document that mentions this? Thanks.
Xcode 6 supports a deployment target back to 4.3. Of course It doesn't support any simulators that old. You would need to test on real devices.
You will have no problem supporting back iOS 6 with Xcode 6 but you will need real devices with iOS 6 to test your app properly.
I don't have a link to a document but all you need do is set the project's Deployment Target to iOS 6.0 and you will have your proof.
Xcode 6 doesn't seem to even see my iPad 1. Although the deployment target is set to 5.1, the popup only shows 6.0 as the minimum in the popup.
