I already have the base code that supports ios 4.3 to ios 5. Now I would also like to support ios 6.0.
The present base code has modal views, hard coded CGRect's, and rotation is different for each view. So I would like to know whether we can support ios 4.3 to ios 6.0 with the same base code, by just tweaking some changes, or do we need to create a complete new target?
Like we cannot use auto layout of ios 6.0 if I want to support previous versions as it will lead to a crash.
Yes, we can do this by setting up the Deployment Target to iOS 4.3. But then, why do you need to support iOS < 5.0 as around 85-90% of devices are on iOS 5.0+. See this
Also, when you set up support for iOS 4.3 or even iOS 5.1.1, you would have to handle multiple things. For example, the method for Orientation,
isn’t called for iOS 6. It is replaced by the methods,
You would need all the iOS versions on devices and then test each and every aspect of your app.
