Upgrade to Snow Leopard? iOS 4

by Edinson Mejia · in iTorque 2D · 07/14/2010 (1:11 am) · 5 replies

I'm actually in the process to finish a game to submit to the app-store, I have some questions ...

I download the latest Xcode with iPhone Sdk 4, to figure out that I have Leopard and I need to upgrade to Snow Leopard to be able to use SDK 4 =(....

Ok my question is Apple requires me to compile the application in SDK4 to submit to the app-store? can I just avoid for now the upgrade and submit the app using 3.0 SDK?

Right, either its built against the OS4 SDK or you will be autorejected.

I'm so confused, for example the game Angry birds if you read the descriptions it says iOS4 tested but the minimum requires is iOS 3.0..

What that mean? for what I know if a compile using "Iphone SDK 3.0" my minimum OS version required will be 3.0 how they compile using 4.0 but keep the minimum OS required to 3.0 ??

That's who can *install* the game. Apple demand that you use the latest tools to *build*. You can of course still set the deployment OS version lower.

Thats right.

What you must do is set the Base SDK to OS4
But you can specify a deployment target thats lower than 4.0, most likely 3.1.3 (as all with 3.0 upgraded to 3.1.3 basically, thats what the stats show at least)
