📱 The iOS Simulator Deployment Target: Finding the Right Balance 🎯

So you've encountered a warning message in Xcode, and let me guess, you're feeling a little confused. Don't worry, pal! I've got you covered with an easy-to-understand guide to solve this issue and get you back on track.

🚩 The Warning Message

Let's take a closer look at the warning message you encountered:

🚨 The iOS Simulator deployment targets are set to 7.0, but the range of supported deployment target versions for this platform is 8.0 to 12.1.

🤔 What does it mean?

This warning message is telling you that the deployment targets set for your iOS Simulator are not within the supported range for the platform you're using. In simpler terms, it's like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole - it just won't work, my friend.

🔍 Diagnosing the Problem

To better understand what's going on, let's examine the provided context:

• You're running Xcode 10.1.

• Your simulator OS version is 12.1.

• You've already updated your Podfile.

• Your deployment target is set to 9.0.

💡 The Solution

To fix this issue, we need to find a balance between the iOS Simulator deployment target and the supported range for the platform you're using. Here's what you need to do:

1. Open your Xcode project.

2. In the project navigator, select your target.

3. Go to the "General" tab.

4. Look for the "Deployment Target" section.

5. Check the range of supported deployment target versions for your platform. In this case, it's 8.0 to 12.1.

6. Set the iOS Simulator deployment target to a version within the supported range. For example, you can set it to 12.1 to match your simulator's OS version.

7. Build and run your project again.

8. 🤞 Cross your fingers and hope for success!

🏆 Celebrate your Success!

With the deployment target set correctly, the warning message should no longer haunt you. Pat yourself on the back, my tech-savvy friend! You've successfully resolved this issue, and your iOS Simulator is now ready to shine.
