Xcode 7 run on Mac OSX 10.10 Yosemite

Question

Am I missing something or Xcode 7 should run only on new(beta) OSX 10.11 El Capitan?

I downloaded beta and after some code changes to comply with Swift 2.0 my project compiles and runs fine under OSX 10.10.3. Am I missing something or Apple changed the game somehow?

Edit:

Xcode 7 runs on OS X 10.10.4

Yup Xcode 7 beta runs on OS X 10.10

As stated in the release notes below

About Xcode 7 beta

Supported Configurations

Xcode 7 beta requires a Mac running OS X 10.10.

Xcode 7 beta includes SDKs for watchOS 2.0, iOS 9 and OS X version 10.11. To develop apps targeting prior versions of OS X or iOS, see the section “About SDKs and the Simulator” in What's New in Xcode available on developer.apple.com or from the Help > What's New in Xcode command when running Xcode.

Do you think therefore it's reasonable to develop under the beta with target ios 8? – Faustina

I think you can if you need to test on your devices or emulators but pay attention that you can't submit app developed with an XCode beta version to iTunesConnect (and so in TestFlight and AppStore) – Sevier

I wouldn't recommend developing production apps in the beta builds. Especially if you know a release of the app is required before the official launch of Xcode 7. – Potiche

So, I can't submit an app built with XCode 6.4 Beta? – Pinchcock

As far as I know, Apple does not allow builds with any beta versions of Xcode. – Potiche

Although... iTunes Connect currently states: "TestFlight for iOS 9 Beta Builds. You can now invite your internal testers to test apps that you’ve built for iOS 9 beta." – Alcina

If anyone is interested he Xcode 7 GM seed requires 10.10.4 – Sulfide

To use Xcode 7 final version you need to 10.10.4 or later – Protraction

Xcode 7 does NOT install with OSX 10.10, only 10.10.4 and above – Aceves

That does not prevent me from getting INFO ITMS-90111: "Invalid Toolchain. New apps and app updates must be built with the public (GM) versions of Xcode 6 or later, and iOS 8 SDK or later. Don't submit apps built with beta software." Yosemite 10.10.5, and troubles uploading via the application loader (testflights remains in reviews, and mail from apple warns me about a non-existent CFBundleExecutable in the Info.plist) – Scuba

Answer 2

Edit: Xcode 7 runs on OS X 10.10.4

Old: Xcode 7 will require OSX 10.11 El Capitan.

Prior to that all beta versions of xcode 7 are running in my iMac-Yosemite. Currently i am using xcode beta6 in 10.10.4. It is stable version and working fine.

Quorum
