Wikipedia said that the minimum iOS Deployment Target for Xcode 6's was iOS 7. I just checked, with XCode 6 GM listed on the page now, the minimum iOS Deployment Target has been changed to iOS 5.1.1.
I do need to support iOS 6.0, and would like to confirm this with official Xcode document. I searched and could not find this particular information. Can someone share the link to an official document that mentions this? Thanks.

If you are building an application that runs on iOS and tvOS, then the Xcode project has at least two targets, one for iOS and one for tvOS. In short, every application that runs on one of Apple's platforms has a deployment target.
The minimum supported release of iOS is iOS 11.
The minimum iOS version can be set in the build settings under iOS Deployment Target. The same counts for macOS, tvOS, and watchOS.
Update deployment target If you haven't already, change the deployment target to the lowest iOS version you want to support, select the project name then select your app target, choose General and change the version in Deployment Info.
Xcode 6 supports a deployment target back to 4.3. Of course It doesn't support any simulators that old. You would need to test on real devices.
You will have no problem supporting back iOS 6 with Xcode 6 but you will need real devices with iOS 6 to test your app properly.
I don't have a link to a document but all you need do is set the project's Deployment Target to iOS 6.0 and you will have your proof.
