I have Monterey with XCode 14.2 and Transporter 1.2.5 still throws same SDK Version Issue (demanding iOS 16.1 SDK) when trying to upload IPA-file. Is the issue Monterey itself, not XCode? Or what else might be wrong?

Came here to see latest requirements, maybe have to buy latest macbook or such if 5 years old versions are already obsolete garbage? I hope that one day IPA upload is as simple as it is with Google APK. It is such a struggle to get info! Application loader still useful? After wasting hours online, I don't know. Xcode11 and older Macbooks? I don't know. Xcode7 still works? I don't know. As a developer, time is money. And wasting time to check artificial Apple requirements (like buy latest Apple hardware, other platform do not work) makes app development expensive. :(
