Outdate hardware? iTouch 2nd gen
by Danilo Buendia · in iTorque 2D · 01/21/2012 (3:05 pm) · 3 replies
Does anyone know if the iTouch 2nd Gen is longer compatible with the current iOS Dev SDK? I've been having trouble running any of my Apps on my iTouch, but then I just realized it's 2nd Gen.
Any compatibility charts up somewhere?

The current iOS SDKs still can build for ARMV6 but I would take it for granted that before we reach summer, Apple will refuse to approve any new ARMV6 title at all as they are so significantly slower (factor 20-40) than the current devices that it simply makes no longer any sense even less with the reintroduction of the iPhone 3GS as 'low end device'

ARMV6 hardware stopped to be supported by apple on iOS4.3 already. 4.3 or any newer iOS is only supported on ARMV7 hardware any longer (means 3rd gen itouch or newer, iphone 3GS or newer)The current iOS SDKs still can build for ARMV6 but I would take it for granted that before we reach summer, Apple will refuse to approve any new ARMV6 title at all as they are so significantly slower (factor 20-40) than the current devices that it simply makes no longer any sense even less with the reintroduction of the iPhone 3GS as 'low end device'

In Xcoode,
Select your application target, then to Build settings, and look for the section Architectures.
In the architectures sub-field, You should see something like this: $(ARCHS_STANDARD_32_BIT)
add this:
armv6
farther down the list under 'Valid Architectures' you should see :
armv6
armv7
If not, add armv6 in there too.
I have 2 different iT2D 1.5 universal apps running on my iTouch (8GB 2008 model) , without issue.
