What does deployment target mean?

Question

this is a very simple question I\'m assuming. Can someone tell me what deployment target means. If I choose IOS 10, does that mean only users with iOS 10 can download the ap

Answer 1

Deployment Target is a minimum version of iOS which is supported by your target.

It means that:

• as a developer you support this version and you are able to support all next compatibility
• as a user you should have at least this version of iOS

To change it in Xcode 11.5

Build Settings -> iOS Deployment Target
