My iPhone's iOS is too old to run Xcode apps

Question

I own an iPhone 5s. It is running iOS 12. I can't upgrade it to iOS 13. The problem is that I can't install and test my apps I made in Xcode, because new Xcode requires iOS 13. Is there anyway I can make Xcode be able to install apps on devices running older versions of iOS.

Answer 1

Select the Project, Settings, Info and change iOS Deployment Target to the lowest version you want:

Answer 2

Yes there is! In your project configuration, click on your app in the Targets menu. Then, under "Deployment Info", you can change the target iOS version for your app.
