Convert project from old version of xcode to newer version

Up front: I am new to app development. I am working with xcode 4.6.3, since that is what my older MacBook allows (iOS 10.7.5).

I hope to build an app using 4.6.3, and then in the future (when I can afford to) purchase a new system that will allow me to use the latest (whatever iteration it will then be) xcode.

My question: Is it possible to create an app using an early version of xcode and to later convert to what will be the current version? I realize this suggests a "yes" or "no" answer, but a little more information would be useful.

Thank you, David

You can actually not use that to deploy an app to the app store because apple requires your app to support 64 bit architecture as of this year. To support that you need a recent version of Xcode (at least 6). Also, the toolchain to actually upload an app to the store changed recently. Get a cheap Mac mini if you have to go on a budget...
