Minimum OS X to run Xcode 8 which is compatible with Swift 3 is OS X 10.11.4 (OS X EL Capitan)

And I think Swift 3 does not support iOS 7

As you have minimum target in Xcode 8 is iOS 8.0

And as per App Store support measurement iOS 8 (11%) and iOS 9 (84%) better that you stop support for iOS 7 as per my opinion. iOS 10 is coming soon.

  • I understand that minimum deployment target is iOS 8.0 as per Xcode listings. Is it mandatory to set deployment target to iOS 8.0 or higher in Xcode-8? – Rashmi Ranjan mallick Jun 29 '16 at 06:54

    but you can change it manually to 7.0 or less. won't it work ? – yonivav Oct 06 '16 at 08:28
  • Swift 3 *does* technically support iOS 7, but you won't be able to test it with Xcode: you'll need to export as .ipa and install manually or through iTunesConnect. I'm downvoting because I saw someone taking this post as a reference for missing support for iOS 7. – Cœur May 27 '17 at 01:28
