我刚刚为你测试了一下，Swift应用程序编译成标准二进制文件，可以在OS X 10.9和iOS 7上运行。

简单的Swift应用程序用于测试:

func application(application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: NSDictionary?) -> Bool {
    self.window = UIWindow(frame: UIScreen.mainScreen().bounds)

    var controller = UIViewController()
    var view = UIView(frame: CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 568))
    view.backgroundColor = UIColor.redColor()
    controller.view = view

    var label = UILabel(frame: CGRectMake(0, 0, 200, 21))
    label.center = CGPointMake(160, 284)
    label.textAlignment = NSTextAlignment.Center
    label.text = "I'am a test label"
    controller.view.addSubview(label)

    self.window!.rootViewController = controller
    self.window!.makeKeyAndVisible()
    return true
}

苹果公司宣布Swift应用程序将向后兼容iOS 7和OS X Mavericks。WWDC应用程序是用Swift编写的。

快速更新，从2015年2月15日起生效，我们不能将使用iOS 8之前的SDK开发的应用程序提交到应用商店。所以，记住这一点，最好不要担心这个问题，因为许多人都建议用Swift开发的应用程序也可以部署在OS X 10.9和iOS 7.0上。

    controller.view.addSubview(label)

    self.window!.rootViewController = controller
    self.window!.makeKeyAndVisible()
    return true
}

试试下面的代码:

它在没有StoryBoard的情况下工作:

func application(application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: NSDictionary?) -> Bool {
    self.window = UIWindow(frame: UIScreen.mainScreen().bounds)
    self.window!.backgroundColor = UIColor.whiteColor()

    // Create a nav/vc pair using the custom ViewController class

    let nav = UINavigationController()
    let vc = ViewController(nibName: "ViewController", bundle: nil)

    // Push the vc onto the nav
    nav.pushViewController(vc, animated: false)

    // Set the window’s root view controller
    self.window!.rootViewController = nav

    // Present the window
    self.window!.makeKeyAndVisible()
    return true
}

我在iPod Touch(第三代)设备上测试了一个基于swift的基本应用程序。基于swift的应用程序似乎无法在iOS 5上运行。但是在iOS 6.x上运行。

下面是我试图在iOS 5.0.1下启动测试应用程序时，调试日志中显示的内容:

对于iOS 6.1.6，应用程序运行良好，没有显示这些错误消息。
