Reader’s Pulse: Which iOS Releases Do You Target?

Reader’s Pulse: Which iOS Releases Do You Target?

on Apr 11th 2012 with 4 comments

Deciding which version of the iOS platform to support can be a difficult decision. Each new operating system release brings with it exciting new features and tools, but unfortunately these features are not always backward compatible with older OS releases (i.e. Storyboarding with iOS 5). So, how concerned are you with the backward compatibility of your iOS applications, and which versions of the operating system do you target with new app releases? Let the community know by voting in today’s poll and sounding off in the comment section!

iOS releases 2.x and earlier were not included in the above poll as they have reached “end-of-life” and are no longer supported by Apple.

    With latest Xcode 4.3.2 is more difficult to support iPhoneOS 3.x

    Thank you Steve for not having such a fragmentation of os-versions like Android :-)

      I haven’t had much issue covering versions 2.1-4.0.3 of android in my development. If you know how to work with compatibility libraries or use something like ActionBarSherlock, getting everything to work isn’t all that difficult.

    Most people will have their iOS devices with the most recent OS. So 5.x is the right choice when you develop a new app.
