Can I still submit iOS9+ app nowadays to the app store? Even though iOS11 is out there and in an effort to get maximum audiences, I still want to compile my app for iOS9+. Please note that no iOS11-specific function are used. Thanks for your support
Submit ios9+ app
Looks like you can... My Xcode 9.3 supports down to iOS 8.0 via the Deployment OS setting. You may need to code around any deprecations, etc. Idioms might help.
And just a note that after all the chatter surrounding Apple's repeated admonition that as of April 2018 (May 1 is tomorrow...), 'all new apps and updates must support iOS 11', which would mean latest Xcode 9.3 (as of now), iTunes Connect, after nearly two years, remains unchanged, still saying this about that:
"Submit your builds using Xcode 6 or later, or Application Loader 3.0 or later."
If you want to build w/base SDK iOS 9.x, you're free to use Xcode 7.x - which of course means you can't also support iOS 11 - but you seem to be good-to-go in that example, since you have no interest in iOS 11 support.
Good luck.
