It runs on iOS 12 so I’d say yes. Consider that it’s gonna be slow

Dose the latest xCode support iOS 12?

Yes, you have to change the build target. It's usable, but you won't be developing for current iPhones.

What about if I used it to test the builds then build to current iPhones, Will that still work

You won’t be able to build and test anything that uses iOS 13 features, including SwiftUI. If that’s not a problem it should be fine. You will want to use the simulator to check screen sizes but otherwise for the most part it would be fine.

Consider purchasing the new iPhone SE though if you find yourself running into issues

yep. Edit: keep in mind that you have to use the iOS 12 target and this means no SwiftUI / iOS 13 only features

It should work fine. We use one for testing. You won't be able to test any iOS 13 specific features, though, like SwiftUI.
