Mac App Store：更改最低系统要求

Question

When I submitted my app to the Mac App Store, it displays something like this to users:

and it won't allow anybody with an earlier version to download the app.

I see there's a LSMinimumSystemVersion key in my app's Info.plist which is set to ${MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET} .

If I want to let users with an earlier version than 10.7 to use my app, can I then just change the Deployment target? Will my app then run on versions earlier than 10.7 (I will be building the app on 10.7)?

Another question, can I make the change without having to wait for Apple to approve the binary again (I just want to change the minimum Mac OS X required version, not anything in the binary itself)?

Answer 1

Provided your binary supports it of course you can at least set the minimum system requirement to 10.6.6 (when the MAS came out) - and probably 10.6 if you wish.

There is no explicit rule that I know disallowing, say 10.5, but there is one forbidding "deprecated technologies" and this lists Rosetta which would undoubtedly be interpreted as no PowerPC binaries.

It's a change to your binary, it will have to be approved. Put a note in the comments to reviewers section stating that is all you've changed, can't hurt, may help.
