I am making an application that outputs text and would like to give the users the option to share this text on twitter and/or Facebook….. I know that iOS6 is linked with twitter and Facebook. but what would happen if an user that has iOS 5.1 for example installs that application? I guess I am trying to see if I should use ios6 and the built in sharing features or ios5 and use sharekit to share on twitter and facebook.
My other question that is also related.
If I build my application in xcode with ios6 will users with ios5 installed still be able to install this application? what would then happen to the features that are only in ios6 like sharing?
Thanks for all your help
If you set your application’s target to iOS 6, users operating on previous iOS versions will not be able to install it. Also, if you set the target to iOS 5 for example, you will not have the facebook native facebook integration available. So, in my opinion, you should set the target for iOS 5, set the facebook framework as optional and when launching the application, check what iOS version it’s running on. If it is not iOS 6, use shareKit.
