How to build the .ipa with iOS 7 support in Xcode 11.2.1?


Recently I updated the Xcode to version 11.2.1 and imported an already developed iOS application with Minimum Deployment target as 7. But when i opened the project in Xcode 11 I can find the Minimum Deployment target as 8.

  1. So how can I extend the support for this application for iOS 7 too using Xcode 11? If yes, then how?

  2. Is it possible to download the iOS 7 simulator in Xcode 11 and test it?

  3. Is there any official document which says the Xcode 11 is not providing support for iOS 7 devices?

  • how can i extend the support for this application for iOS 7 too using Xcode 11? if Yes then how?

    Yes, just type the number into the input.

    Is it possible to download the iOS 7 simulator in Xcode 11 and test it?

    Never try for long time, but I think it's impossible. But you can test with real device. (You need to copy 7.x directory from old Xcode Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport to the this one.)

    Is there any official document which says the Xcode 11 is not providing support for iOS 7 devices?

    Not sure.
