I have Macbook Pro 2011 and now I want to develop apps for iOS. Today I understood that I can't install macOS Mojave, and relatively I can't get last Xcode version. The latest version for me - is 10.1.
So, I have question: could I publish applications in the future to App Store, or it's the end and I need buy new Macbook ?
You mentioned that you are having Xcode version 10.1 which covers iOS 11+ compatibility & also iPhone X Max simulator supports. So in all you have not much older version of Xcode.
As per my knowledge you will still be able to develop & deploy apps from this Xcode version. And also Apple will continue support for at least next 2 years for this Xcode version.
So you can still be able to use your current Mac system.
Important Note :
Although current Mac system will allow you to develop & deploy apps its more preferred to arrange new Mac system to make sure get support of the new Apple features & functions.
Hope it will help you.

Could the very first generation of the Mac Mini handle app development for the iPhone? My friend said he'd give me his for free to use XCode, but I want to make sure that it could run it before I take it.
Short answer: For current iOS versions? No. For any iPhone? Yes.
The latest OS X supported on that hardware (officially, don't know about hacks) is 10.6 and the latest Xcode you can get for that is 4.2 (if you have a paid account, it seems). Xcode 4.2 would support iOS 5.0, so if that's enough, then it can be used for development for iPhone. But I assume that's not what you're after, since a lot has changed since iOS 5.0.
No. If you are trying to develop against IOS8. You need OSX 10.9.4(Mavericks) to run XCode 6.1.
Minimum OS X and xcode requirements for ios 8.1 development
I have an app on the appstore currently that is built using Xcode 6 with a deployment target of iOS 7. The recent release Xcode 6.3, however only works on OSX 10.10
Can I submit updates to the app store by building on an earlier version of Xcode (6.2 in my case) because I am unable to update OSX to 10.10? Does Apple release documentation about this when it releases a new Xcode version? The only thing I found was this
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/qa/qa1806/_index.html
which says that I should aim to build with the latest version of Xcode but does not mention if the app would be rejected/approved if built with a lower version.
The minimum Version of Xcode is 5.1.1 as stated in iTunesConnect when you want to upload a new binary of your app. This information does obviously include, that you can of course use Xcode 6.2 for AppStore submission.
Hope that helps :)
You can build using the lower version of the SDK within reason I believe. Some older compilers may be missing features that Apple will eventually require, but in the short term shipping with 6.2 won't really hurt much.
That said, Xcode 6.3 should include the iOS SDK. Make sure you got it from the App Store, which includes the full suite of stuff.
I have built an iOS app that leverages Core Location Framework. I have Xcode 4.2 installed and Lion and now Location services are not functional.
Anyone know if there is a patch or workaround for this? I basically stuck and can't test my app on the simulator.
The updated location services in the iOS Simulator are not available to the general public as of yet. If you have access to the iOS Developer Program, you can download the latest beta of XCode, 4.2, and test that way.
As a warning, the beta is just that, a beta. You may end up with more testing issues that are completely unrelated to your location services.
Best case scenario is 2 machines, one for each. That isn't always feasible, so you'll have to decide which is more important. Good luck.
Testing on the device would definitely be a good work around. You will want to test on a real device to check Xcode 4.2 is still in Beta, so this might be a bug in this latest version. According to the documentation it is supposed give you the latitude and longitude of the Apple headquarters as a default.
iOS Simulator notes
So basically i have upgraded to iOS5 and xcode 4.2 but after a little playing around i found out you can't submit apps to the app store with it (even if the apps are set to 4.3 or lower)
So i reinstalled xcode 4.1 (xcode did some back up thing so i still have 4.2) and started work on application building and such like. Submitted application to app store / testing on device everything running fine.
But suddenly (well just now) xcode has said:
The version of iOS does not match any of the versions
of iOS supported for development with this installation of the iOS
SDK. Please restore the device to a version of the OS listed below, or
update to the latest version of the iOS SDK; which is available here.
So i can no longer test apps on my device, nor can downgrade my iPod says apple...
but what im sooo confused about is that it was all working a few hours ago.
Why can't i do it now?
Anyone know a fix?
Thank you.

Apple has apparently told testers of iOS 5 that any devices updated to that beta cannot be downgraded back to iOS 4. They will only be able to further upgrade their device and eventually install the final iOS 5 release. From Apple:
Devices updated to iOS 5 beta can not be restored to earlier versions
of iOS. Devices will be able to upgrade to future beta releases and
the final iOS 5 software.
However, I've also seen this post: http://www.jailbreakmovies.com/2011/06/08/how-to-downgrade-ios-5-back-to-ios-4-3-3-tutorial-video/ which claims to be able to restore iOS 4.3 to a device. I haven't tried it, but if you're feeling adventurous and/or desperate, you might give it a go.
I am trying to test my new application i just wrote on my daughters ipod. I paid the 100 bucks to join development team for apple and then I followed the instructions which were pretty simple. But now I get the following message when I try to run:
The Info.plist for application at /Users/sarokhatchatourian/Documents/Books_nd_Movies_Seen/build/Debug-iphoneos/Books_nd_Movies_Seen.app specifies a minimum OS version of 4.3, which is too high to be installed on Hailiey’s iPod
Is there some software that I can download or what do I need to do to this ipod? Is this ipod too old? do I need to update the OS of the ipod? I am new to this. Not a mac guy but trying to get there.
Thanks

The Info.plist for application at

specifies a minimum OS version of 4.3,

This is your answer. Change the deployment target of the app to an older iOS version or update the ipod to 4.3 or later.
