You use ObjC, not Swift ?
XCode 4.6 should support IOS5 (not on AppStore of course)
But you may run in problems which are described here :

According to the wikipedia "Xcode", Xcode 6.4 is the latest version where minimum Deployment Target is iOS 4.3 or iOS 5.1.1.

And currently you can submit apps with Xcode 6.x. (Though I'm not sure if you need it.)
Have to ask why you want to support iOS 5....? So old now...
