App Development For Newbie

Hi all!

Im still new in apple development and was wondering about this.

So i have this app template that runs in iOS 15. As Apple has upgraded to iOS16, I was wondering if that iOS15 app can run in iOS16 or should I downgrade the iOS version?

also, my XCode is in version 14 ish, so can it support iOS15 too? As i need to customize the template.

I appreciate your time to read (and hopefully answer this)

Thank you!

Are you asking if an app you created with Xcode 13 and the iOS 15 SDK will run on iOS 16? If so, the answer is Yes, the app will run on iOS 16.

You can make apps that support iOS 15 with Xcode 14. Set the deployment target, the minimum OS the app will run on, to iOS 15, and the app will run on iOS 15+ as long as you don't use anything Apple added in iOS 16. The following article provides screenshots and other details on supporting older versions of iOS:
