4.2.1 is indeed the largest piece (exactly 50%) of my users that are on iOS less than 4.3, with other versions sprinkled in. And as it happens, looking by device, 87% of my <4.3 users are on 3G devices.

While [1] may be true, many people never upgrade their iOS. My stats are such that 8% of my users are using < iOS 4.3, and of that 8% slice almost 3/4 (or 6% of my total users) _could_ update to something newer, but they're happily runn

Does anybody know how you debug with haxe/nme? I see no mention of it, which leads me to believe it's not really supported, which is somewhat understandable given that's it being compiled from haxe code into the various target languages.

Given the choices - either stick with the aisle full of Star Wars, ninjas, and pretty much all gun-based LEGO sets aimed purely at boys (the company admitted it was focusing solely on boys in mid-2000's), OR add some girl-focused sets with
