Keeping app in iOS 6

I have clients who wish to not upgrade there applications to iOS 7, however I have downloaded xCode 5.0.

I need to make amendments to the application.

Is there a way that I am able to keep the app like the iOS 6 version?

When I research this I get irrelevant results about not being able to downgrade and features of iOS7.

Thank you.

An iOS 6 app (using only the api available in iOS 6) build against the iOS 7 SDK does run on iOS 5 and iOS 6 (and on those OSes it should look as if it had been build against the iOS 6 SDK). You have to set the deployment target and check in Simulator using iOS 6/5 simulators if everything is running.

However, I found that some UI components had slight position changes - so you should check the app.

Update: As mentioned by borrrden: if you like to have the iOS 6 look and feel on a device running iOS 7, you have to build with iOS 6 SDK.
