  1. Yes, you can test on an old iPad - just make sure it is not too old. It should be running iOS 11 or later.
  2. If you want your apps to look good on different screen sizes, you need to use responsive design. The app needs to adapt to the screen size.
  3. If you want to make a native app, you need to register in the Apple Developer Program.

Thanks for your timely info! ,tst
