- xenophanes 16y agoWhy can't they leave in the old versions? It'd be nice to use the simulator for various versions...
- hamedh 16y agoApple has started to leave the iPad simulator for 3.2 and the iPhone simulators for 4.0 and 4.1 ... but I agree I never understood this either. It's almost impossible to test for devices running 3.1.3 without having an old extra device that has not been upgraded
- npsomaratna 16y agoI know - we made the mistake of the setting the target platform to iOS 3.1 but only ended up testing it under iOs 4.0 devices - simply because no-one seemed to use iOS 3.1. Wrong ! Although 93.6% of our users use iOs4, the other 6% were pissed off when they found out that the app crashed on iOS 3.1 The icing on the cake ? After the app crashed, the users deleted it - and were prompted to rate it. I'm sure that you can imagine the rest. Thank god that the 'rate on delete' feature was removed from iOS4 - although that is scant consolation.
- kgutteridge 16y agothankfully you can change the target now to "latest sdk" so hopefully this will stop that particular annoyance in the future
- DougBTX 16y agoMay or may not work for you, but there is an option now to select the "Latest SDK". I expect it to be annoying if I ever check out an old revision which fails to compile with the latest SDK, but for now, it is fine for developing shipping products.
- Zev 16y ago...and it does not include any previous SDKs. Yes, it does. It just doesn't install them anymore. If you look at the packages (in a hidden folder), you can find them.
