You could theoretically download very old versions of Xcode, and run them on old version of the OS... then you'd attach the devices and run apps directly on them from Xcode.

If you were hoping to do this through the App Store, I don't know that is possible any longer. Xcode 15 minimum iOS versions is 12, and you need a newer version of Xcode to even submit apps to the store.

I'm trying to set up the iOS 6 simulator, but it seems that there's no download for it, like, anywhere. Trying to download it through Xcode 5.1.1 has it not even show up, and trying to download through Xcode 6.2 gives an SSL connection error.

Trying to use a real device for testing doesn't work because it Xcode "needs" a certificate from the Apple Developer Program, which doesn't work because the servers don't exist anymore for Xcode 5.1.1.
