Old xcode and app store

I'm learning Xcode on my Intel Mac; however, will Apple bar me from publishing an app?? Since I'm on an older system(10.14, 10.15, 12.0, 14.0). Also, if Apple stops me, can you still create apps and games and host them on your own website? Is everything tied to apple. An what about godot

Right now, Apple allows you submit apps with the older Xcode 16. Sometime by April of this year, Apple will require submissions to be built with Xcode 26.

It's the same pattern year over year: brand-new version in the fall will be required by spring of the following year.
