Hello. I need to develop for iOS 18. I've recently updated Xcode and it says I have to download ios 26 platform. I don't need it, but I can no longer build my existing projects against ios 18, even though Xcode says it's still installed and used 13 days ago. How to I remedy this?
XCode 18.6 not selectable

It sounds like you have Xcode 26 — to do development for iOS, you do need to download those additional components, as they are used as part of the compilation of your app, even if you're focused on debugging your app on an iOS 18 device.
