iPhone SDK Version Relevance

You must Login before you can answer or comment on any questions.

I'm curious about the relevance of the iPhone SDK that I have installed and use with Titanium studio, assuming that I'm building an app which is not utilizing any "new" features.

Does it matter if I have an older version installed, and what are the potential consequences with building my app with the newest version of the iPhone SDK? Will my app not run on older iPhones?

Is there a document that outlines which SDK supports which hardware devices?

Thank you.

  • This helps, yes. Thank you. However, it doesn't answer the main part of my question, regarding the support of older devices. Right now I'm using the iPhone SDK 4.x, so I wonder if jeopardize some of our users which use our app on older iPhones if I upgrade to SDK 5.x?

  • i believe as long as you are not using APIs that are not supported on the older versions, you should be ok. We have updated our development environment but still are deploying apps to older 3G devices

  • OK, great. Well, I just read the reviews in the App store about the latest version of xCode (which I don't use, technically, I just need the SDK), and everybody complained and gave it only 1 star. I think I will hold off for a while. Since the Ti SDK I am using works fine with the installed version, I will just hold on to that for the time being.
