Xcode – Is it possible to hide code based on SDK version

Because my build machine is still using the Xcode 12.5 , So the UITabBar’s scrollEdgeAppearance(which will not exist in the Xcode 12.5’s SDK) will make the build fail even i’am using the @available to check .

if (@available(iOS 15.0, *)) {
    UINavigationBarAppearance* navBarAppearance = [UINavigationBarAppearance new];
    navBarAppearance.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorNamed:@"navbar_bg"];

    [UINavigationBar appearance].standardAppearance = navBarAppearance;
    [UINavigationBar appearance].scrollEdgeAppearance = navBarAppearance;
    
    UITabBarAppearance* tabBarAppearance = [UITabBarAppearance new];
    tabBarAppearance.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorNamed:@"second_bg"];
    [UITabBar appearance].standardAppearance = tabBarAppearance;
    [UITabBar appearance].scrollEdgeAppearance = tabBarAppearance;
    
    [UITableView appearance].sectionHeaderTopPadding = 0;
}

So is it possible to do this kind of SDK checking in code ,when the build SDK is not the newest SDK , these code will not be involved to build? like this

if (BuilDSDK >= someversion) 
{
   [UITabBar appearance].scrollEdgeAppearance = tabBarAppearance;
}

    @available is a runtime availability check, not really usable for compile-time stuff in this situation.

    In Objective-C, you can wrap the code part applied on iOS 15 SDK into another, macro condition:

    #ifdef __IPHONE_15_0
    if (@available(iOS 15.0, *)) {
        ...
    } else {
#endif
        // possible legacy branch code
#ifdef __IPHONE_15_0
    }
#endif

    __IPHONE_15_0 is defined starting with iOS 15 SDK, thus being omitted when building in Xcode 12/iOS 14 SDK. 👍

    Another similar solution for Swift classes can be found here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/69583441/1195661:

    #if swift(>=5.5) // Only run on Xcode version >= 13 (Swift 5.5 was shipped first with Xcode 13).
        if #available(iOS 15.0, *) {
            UITabBar.appearance().scrollEdgeAppearance = tabBarAppearance
        }
#endif
