What should be done for me to have the deployment target lower that 7.0 in my project preferences? Now any new project I create using Xcode 5 can only be deployed to iOS 7.0. That's how it looks:
971
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.
Simply make a manual update to the Development target in the Xcode Pods file. It is your pod files deployment target iOS Version, not your project deployment target iOS Version, that is causing the issue; thus, you must update the deployment iOS version for your pods to anything more significant than 8.0 as well.
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.
Go to project's settings in the Project Navigator panel. Under the Targets sections, right click the existing target and select Duplicate to copy your existing target. 2. Xcode will ask you if your new target is for iPad development.
You can directly type a different target (5.0, 5.1, etc) into the text box :)
The only thing to note is you will need to change the architecture to exclude ARM64 if you go below 7.0.

Had the same issue. All I did was to change Architectures to Standard architectures (armv7,armv7s) - exclude the 64 bit. See screenshot.
