My app is ready for the latest iOS version available to the consumers. Now that iOS 6 apps are being accepted, is it mandatory for me to make my app deployable on iOS 6? Or can I specify that the app runs on iOS 5.1.1 only and still submit? Will doing so cause a rejection saying that iOS 6 needs to be supported?

You can only specify a minimal iOS Version, not a maximum version.
just submit it, if you don't want to spend some time making it iOS 6 screen aware

You can submit Apps that you compile with Xcode 4.4.1, they will run on iOS 6 but in a letterbox mode. It will be accepted.
But I recommend to adopt it to iOS 6. It took me only 2 hours to upgrade one of my Apps for iOS 6. This, explains the procedure: Developing fullscreen 4inch app in xcode

Do the Apple App Store guidelines approve of submitting an app that uses Swift right now?
Swift can run on all devices running iOS 7.0+, so if I submit an app that uses Swift before iOS 8 is released will it be rejected?
Apps written in the Xcode 6 Beta will not be approved so you have to wait for the new Xcode to be released before submitting apps with Swift code
To submit with Swift you'll have to build your app with the iOS 8 SDK, even if you want to target devices running iOS 7. Apple are not accepting submissions built with the iOS 8 SDK, and probably won't for some time (until the SDK goes GM).
Considering that you'd have to use XCode 6 (which is beta), iOS8 base SDK (which is beta), and that the language itself is likely to undergo significant revisions & changes between now and public release, I'd say it'd almost certainly be rejected.

I have installed iOS 7 on my iPhone 5 and the Beta Version of Xcode 5 on my mac.
When I want to run an app on my iPhone, Xcode says:
"no provisioned ios devices are available with a compatible iOS version"
What went wrong?
It's a guess. But if you have installed IOS7 on your device.
You need to say again that you want to use it for development. You can do this in the organizer --> devices in xcode
Go to project and Target Settings and Make sure that you have set the right provisioning profile before running it on your device. As you are mentioning that you have installed a new SDK and Xcode, i would suggest you to check the provisioning profile once again.

I'm looking at upgrading my development iPhone 3GS from iOS4.3.5 to iOS5. Now that Apple even rejects apps that use the older SDK and contain an iPhone 5 launch image, I see no need to keep my iPhone 3GS on iOS4.
Even though the latest s/w for iPhone 3GS is iOS6, will an upgrade to iOS5 be successful through the server verification. I ask because I tried to restore in a similar situation previously on a different device (and different iOS versions) but it wouldn't let me so I had to upgrade to the latest compatible version of iOS.
Success/failure stories would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
James
PS. this may not be a techy question, but as a community of developers, this seems to be the best place to ask!
Apple no longer signs iOS5 meaning that you can't restore to iOS5 unless you have previously saved the SHSH blobs either in Cydia or with a tool such as TinyUmbrella.

I know iOS 6 is out and almost everyone have iOS 6 (or atleast iOS 5+) on their devices. But one of my client has his own theories, he wants his app tested for iOS 4 also (who is using iOS 4 these days!!!)... I want to know is there any possibility I can downgrade my iPod touch/ iPhone 4/ iPad 2 / iPhone 3GS (any one of them) to iOS 4.
I search this on google and found that if I have SHSH blob saved for previous iOS versions then I can downgrade.. but I don't have that saved. So is there any possibility to downgrade??
Without those blobs you won't be able to downgrade. You can always use the simulator though, or show your client the adoption rates of iOS 5 as of this June, that should convince him.
You will need to download XCode 3 and iOS SDK 4. Go to this link and enter "XCode 3" in the search bar on the left.
According to this page, you can downgrade your iPhone 3GS to iOS 4.1, but not 4.3...
He should also keep his mind that if you support IOS 6 then the least configuration with IOS 4 is the version 4.3.Xcode 4.5 does not compile for any older versions.
And as mentioned already if you have not saved the SHSHs for any versions of IOS 4 before you can not get them right now.The only available SHSH over Tinyumbrealla is 5.01 right now.

Right after I upload my binary over to Apple in iTunesConnect, it appears this message,
"The binary uploaded for the latest version of this app indicates that iOS 4.3 or later is required. Apps that require iOS 4.3 or later will not be available to Verizon iPhone users. If this app could be compatible with earlier iOS versions, you may want to reject the binary and upload a new one that indicates the earliest compatible iOS."
What to do so that I can have my app reach as many as customers possible?
Thank you.
Find those 4.3 exclusive methods and look for alternatives available for 4.0
In future projects, try to develop thinking on a reasonable iOS version.
Today to develop with a base of 4.0 it's more than reasonable.
To be honest, if you wait a week, the Verizon iPhone will be on iOS5 and you can use iOS4.3+ APIs.
