Hi, I was checking docs about this (https://developer.apple.com/support/xcode/) where implies that the minimum iOS Deployment Target is iOS 15.

However, I reviewed quotes from last year (https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/775703), where one of your engineers mentioned that the minimum version was actually iOS 12 for Xcode 16, when later on this page it was changed to 15 (even though internally the actual minimum is 12).

So our team was wondering what the minimum version was for Xcode 26, since the page mentions iOS 15.

Further down on that thread:

That webpage was recently revised, and you happened to catch the change here just after that update. The document is listing iOS 15 as the recommended minimum for development for Xcode 16. While older iOS versions down to iOS 12 are supported with Xcode 16, we encourage you to stay within those recommendations.
