Can I compile a MATLAB application using a project file created using a different version of MATLAB than what I am currently using?

I used deploytool to create a project file for my application. I recently upgraded to a new machine having a different version of MATLAB than what I had before. I would like to know if I can use the old project file that I have for compiling my application in the new version of MATLAB on my machine.

The project files created using DEPLOYTOOL are version specific XML files. Using a project file created using a version of MATLAB different from where the project needs to be built, could lead to unexpected results at runtime.

To work around this, recreate the project using the current version of MATLAB being used. When this project is built and executed, the output should be as expected.
