title: Minimum OS X and xcode requirements for ios 8.1 development
body: <p>New to iOS development, still figuring out stuff.
  Just purchased Apple Developer account! Could anyone please let me know if it's possible to run xcode 6 and xcode 5 compiled ipa on iPad device running iOS 8.1</p>
  
  <p>I can't install xcode 6.1 because I think it requires OS X 10.10 yosemite</p>
  
  <p>In other words I want to know what's the least OS X and xcode version requirement in order to build an application that could run on my iPad running iOS 8.1</p>
  
  <p>Many thanks</p>
