is new generation macbook pro 13' good enough for IOS developing ?

I am wondering that 13' macbook pro with 2.4Gz processer i5, 8G memory is enough to develop an app or not?

Make sure it can run the latest Xcode and OSX. If so you should be good to go. I have a iMac that is 5 years old. I code with that from time to time.
