Supporting iOS 4.3 to iOS 6.0

Question

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

Answer 1

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,

- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation

isn't called for iOS 6. It is replaced by the methods,

- (NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations

- (BOOL)shouldAutorotate

You would need all the iOS versions on devices and then test each and every aspect of your app.
