Hi Mohammad,

that depends on the hardware functionalities (e. g. gyroscope) the project untilises but at some point you always have to test your app with actual devices. You never want to submit an app to the store without proper testing on the devices the app claims to support.

Kind Regards Holger

Thanks Holger,

but my question was on the message which appears every time i am trying to build the project. The message it looks like something like: "The document "Main.storyboard" could not be opened. Could not read archive. Please use a newer version of Xcode. Consider changing the document's Development Target to preserve compatibility. " Even when i changed the OS X deployment target into an older version it does not resolve the message. Any idea please.

You might want to Update to Version 5.1.1 as you won't be able to open some 5er version projects with your version. You also want to check out Can't Open Project in Xcode 4.6 After Opening in 5.0 regarding this issue.
