I’m writing an app that needs to target a minimum of iOS 5.
I’ve also written it so that it is compatible with the iPhone 5 4″ screen.
I’m not 100% certain but I think I saw something around that said Apple will not allow apps to use the full 4″ screen without being a minimum target of iOS 6.
i.e. if you target iOS 5 and your app uses the 4″ screen then the app will be rejected.
Is this true? If so I’ll have to decide what to sacrifice.
No this isnt true, you can set the minimum iOS version in the build settings to 5.0, and still support iphone 5 screens.
The sort-of-reverse is true, though. If the Base SDK isn’t 6.0, then you can’t use the iphone 5 screen size (which would be impossible anyway since no iphone5 can use < 6.0).
There are some sacrifices you have to make though, like you can’t use autolayout if you also support ios5. You’ll have to handle the varying screen size manually.
