 > Unfortunately, not that far back, in terms of supporting building on the
 target OS. Older versions, at least up to 10.9 lacks support for XIB
 format 8 (IIRC), which is what this port uses, most likely just because
 newer Xcode dropped support for older formats. Not only the Xcode
 Interface Builder is affected by this, the xcodebuild CLI also does not
 let you compile new XIB formats.

 haven't looked into porting AppKit apps that much.

 XIBs are a pain, I am not aware of the way to convert them back to older
 formats. What may (and likely will) work is to pick older XIBs, provided
 they existed, and use with newer codebase. Worked for my R-app, untill it
 got broken recently for all systems, for unrelated reason.

 P. S. There is this https://github.com/viraptor/ibtool but I did not dig
 into it to figure out what it actually can do. AFAIK, not a real-life
 replacement anyway.
