1) I cant use my iPad with iOS 5.1.1 in XCode 7.0 (7A220). In "Devices" window:

"Unsupported device model: "iPad is of a model that is not supported by this version of Xcode..."

2) Is impossible to upload iOS 5 simulator to Xcode 7; the oldest available is iOS 6.

What can I do to work this iPad withXcode 7?

XCode hasn't supported iOS 5 simulation for longer than that. Check my post on the thread Install ios 5 simulator to xcode 5.1? to see how I ran iOS 5 simulators on a mac with recent versions of XCode loaded.

  • I saw the same error regarding the device. I would like to know, if XCode 7 can build ipa's with sdk 9 that run on gen 1 iPads w iOS 5.1.1? I have build errors now preventing me from getting that far with my testing. – BuvinJ Sep 23 '15 at 21:28
  • Summary I want install OS X Lion + XCode5 on external HD, and in this way programming for iOS5 device. – theWalker Sep 23 '15 at 22:16
  • Essentially, yes. Setup a dual boot with an old os which can run an old version of XCode, and install the simulator from the file I posted (which can no longer be downloaded from Apple). – BuvinJ Sep 24 '15 at 13:39
  • I did it. OS X Lion & Xcode 5 on ext. HDD. Common source files for this and for the Xcode 7 on main HDD; one diffrent is *.xcodeproj and info.plist. Work ideally. – theWalker Oct 05 '15 at 18:57
  • @skippy do you have two different builds and apps in App Store with your workaround? – Sound Blaster Mar 07 '16 at 09:38
  • @SoundBlaster you don't submit separate builds / apps. You now submit one which contains dual 32 / 64 bit architectures. Unfortunately, you can't test that with your own iap or install via XCode. The store handles which one is installed on a given device instead. – BuvinJ Mar 07 '16 at 13:33
  • I use it for testing on my old device, but isnt possible to upload it to appstore – theWalker Mar 13 '16 at 16:02
