BETA iOS9 Deployment for Device Testing

Is it possible to download iOS9 + Xcode 7 and still deploy test apps to devices running the current version of iOS?

Sorry for the relatively stupid question, I'm a new developer and not sure how it has worked in the past and I can't find anything on the developer site ...

Many thanks.

In any version of iOS, this depends on the minimum requirements for the app you are building. If you are using any code that requires iOS 9 or specifies project requirements for iOS 9, it will not work on iOS 8. But if you build an app that targets iOS 8 or earlier, it will work on those devices even if you do it with Xcode 7.

But since you're a new developer, keep in mind: anything done with Xcode 7 can't be submitted to the App Store until Xcode 7 is officially released , most likely this fall. This applies to everything, regardless of the target OS.



So, if you want to publish your app this summer, make your app with the current version of Xcode and just use the new version of Xcode 7 to experiment and develop for future releases.

The Sumple rule sets the target for the deployment to downgrade, and it will be supported in all os.

But before you run in the store better, you view them in this environment, because with a higher version some APIs have changed, some of them may be discounted and replaced by others.



As per your current situation, make base 7.0 a deployment target and your application will work on most devices / users.
