Open your project settings in Xcode, select your project, and under the "Info" tab, change the deployment target. Your application will be compatible with all OSs newer than the one you choose.

Note that this can limit the your code. For example, there is a minimum OS requirement in order to compile certain features, such as Swift or Metal. If the OS you choose is too old for your code, Xcode will give you a warning.

You will not have any problem to run your app in OS X 10.9 and iOS 7 or higher SDK versions. Just select your deployment version in your project settings and that's all.

Your project name -> General -> Deployment info -> Deployment Target -> Select your target

Be careful, some methods you will use in iOS 9 does not exist in earlier iOS, don't panic if it's the case
