We want to update our game to support the iPhone 5.
Do we need to upgrade Xcode to v4.5 and use the iOS 6 SDK??
[edit]Apple is now explicitly rejecting applications submitted with the iOS 5.x SDK and iPhone 5 default images, saying “Your app contains a launch image with a size modifier that is only supported for apps built with the iOS 6.0 SDK or later.”
Old answer :
Yes you can use Xcode 4.4 or below to support iPhone 5.
The iOS (6) will run an app in letterbox mode if there is not a 640×1136 splashscreen image in your resources. The image must be called Default-568h@2x.png (if your splashscreen is Default.png in your Info.plist).
So just add this image on your Xcode project whatever version it is, and the app will run in full screen mode.
This being said, there are chances that Apple will not let you install an app compiled with Xcode 4.4 or below on an iOS 6 device (and of course no iPhone 5 simulator for Xcode 4.4 and below). [edit] As told in the comments, yes, you can install on an iPhone 5 / iOS6 with Xcode4.4.
