xcode 5 : can i still create application for ios 5?

Is it possible to create an application that could be executed on iOS 5 devices with the new Xcode 5? On the software update page, within the app store, there is an Xcode 5 update available, but i am wondering if it would be a wise thing to do to update to Xcode 5.

My major concern is whether i could still create applications targeting iOS 5, and if i could still work on old projects targeting iOS 5.

I have searched through SO but seems there is not much related resources yet. Please shed some light on this. Thanks!

Can I run iOS apps in Xcode?

Xcode supports debugging, testing, and profiling your iOS app natively on a Mac with Apple silicon. When you open your iOS project in Xcode 12 or later, you have the option to build your app and run it directly in macOS. This option doesn't run your app in a Simulator; it runs it as an iOS App on Mac.

Can I develop my own iOS app?

Before creating an iOS app, you will need the proper tools. In app building, the tool you need is called Xcode. You can download it directly to your computer from the App Store. Once it's downloaded, you will use it to build your user interface and for writing code to respond to user interaction.

What software do I need to build an iOS app?

Developer RequirementsXcode is Apple's IDE (Integrated Development Environment) for both Mac and iOS apps. Xcode is the graphical interface you'll use to write iOS apps. Xcode includes the iOS SDK, tools, compilers, and frameworks you need specifically to design, develop, write code, and debug an app for iOS.

One thing of note:

The iOS 5 simulator is only available for download if you're running Xcode 5 under Mountain Lion. If you're running Mavericks then you can't download or use it.
