I'm running into compatibility issues for some external frameworks I'm using in my project. Is there a way to change the Base SDK on Xcode 8? Currently in the project settings only show me the Latest SDK.
I've tried copying the older SDK from another version of Xcode to here but it didn't work:
/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/
886
Several years ago developers were allowed to manually choose a Base SDK to compile their apps against but Apple has removed this feature. All modern versions of Xcode come with an SDK pre-installed that developers cannot easily change nor should you.
Xcode 14. This version of Xcode: Includes SDKs for iOS 16, iPadOS 16, macOS 12.3, tvOS 16, and watchOS 9.
To find out the version number of each framework, navigate to the . framework file, locate and open the Info. plist file. If you are using an IDE (Integrated Development Environment), such as Xcode, look for the value for the key Bundle versions string.
Starting with Xcode 7.3, in addition to copying in the SDK, you must also edit a certain Info.plist file, as described here for macOS in the post by agx. It looks like there is a similar file for iOS, at
Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Info.plist Try changing the value of MinimumSDKVersion in there from 10.0 to whatever SDK version you want.
I've not tried this with iOS, but, using this workaround, I was just able to build a macOS target with macOS 10.6 using Xcode 8.0 (8A218a) (the "GM").
UPDATE
The hack described above stopped working for me in Xcode 9. If you want to use Xcode 9+, see my more recent answer dated Nov 22, 2017.
