What is the “acceptable” target API level for new iOS apps? I’m starting iOS dev and I’d like to know what version should I target.
I come from Android and there the target 2.1+ covers about the 98% and 2.2+ a 90% of the actual devices in the market. [Related link]
Where are those levels in iOS?
Thanks
There does not exist statistic for that on iOS, but since there aren’t that much different devices for iOS it isn’t that hard. Most people are alway’s using the two latest versions and a few people still use older versions because their hardware isn’t supported by the newest versions. Have a look at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOS_version_history#Current_versions
At the moment I would recommend to supports versions 4.2+ and you will fit the devices of most users.
