Deployment Target

[Alexj17]

Hi All

Quick question, I want me app to be available for people will all versions of iphone/ipad to download my app. Ignore the fact that some of my code may not work on earlier versions and maybe certain devices, my question is about the 'Deployment Target' which is set to 4.3 as default, (using xcode4).

Does 4.3 mean only 4.3 will be allowed to download my app or does it mean 4.3 and below ?

Similar is i change it to 4.0 for example. Do that mean 4.0 and below or 4.0 and above ?

Thanks
Alex

p.s There are two places that has the Target and they can be different. One is in

Project -> Project Name - > Info

and the other in

Targets -> Project Name - > Sumary

If it were 4.3 and below, why would you want to change it to 4.0 and below?

Apple requires that you build with the latest SDK and support their latest software for updates and new apps.

So, it's the other way around. 4.3+ and 4.0+. Not down, up.

Yeah silly question really now i think about it lol

So should i just put 3.0 in both boxes then otherwise people without the latest version wouldnt be able to download my app ?

Put 3.0 if you want to support devices with iOS 3.0+.

However, if you do this, be sure you do not use code that will not run on iOS 3.0. If you do, you will have to check which version is being run with preprocessor directives. If you do a Google search, you'll hit a lot of results. People wanting to support older iOS devices is common.

If you only want to support the latest and greatest, put 4.3 and be done with it.
