Base SDK in Xcode 11 ( for prerequisite of iOS 13 )

Hi there,


I have got 2 questions about the newest prerequisite of iOS 13 here:


1. With the prerequisite of iOS 13 as Base SDK, is it still allowed to add and build additional SDKs/architectures in Xcode setting for the App for multi-iOS compatibility for Apple Store distribution? or must be only iOS 13 or later?


2. In newest Xcode, is selection of value "iOS" for Base SDK in Project Setting->Build Settings->Architectures means "latest iOS" as previous version?


Hope if you could kindly help me to confirm it.

You can keep a deployment target below 13.0.

Compatibility with previous iOS versions is managed by the deplyoment target. The iOS 13 SDK doesn't prevent an app from running on a previous iOS version.

Yes, my previous (before this iOS 13 SDK request) App has deployment target set to iOS 10.0, my question is after this newest iOS 13 notice, do I have to change this deployment to iOS 13? or if I could keep iOS 10.0 as setting? (for Apple Store distribute)

You can keep a deployment target below 13.0.

Great! thank you!
