So Swift 2.0 is coming up with Xcode 7, what is the minimum iOS / OS X system version required to use Swift 2.0?
That is the iOS deployment target or the minimum deployment target for iOS. It means that the application runs on any iOS device with iOS 14.3 or later installed. The values the dropdown menu lists depend on the version of Xcode you are using. Xcode 12, for example, no longer supports iOS 8.
The minimum supported release of iOS is iOS 11.
Change deployment targetSelect your app target and go to General tab, under Deployment Info change target to whatever version you want to support.
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.
An Apple staffer had this to say:
iOS 7 / OS X 10.9, same as Swift 1.0.
Update: I'm guessing this is because the runtime is packaged into the built app / library / framework / whatever the same as with Swift 1.x.
I've tested it as far a iOS 7, no clue on anything lower however you probably shouldn't be supporting iOS 6 anymore.
