更新Xcode 4.3以支持ios 5.1

Question

My Xcode version today is 4.3, so it only supports iOS 5.0, right?. Then I finished my project for my client. What I wanted is for my project to be supported for iOS 5.1, I was thinking of updating my Xcode to 4.3.3, or should I update it to 4.4? to support iOS 5.1. I am really confused right now. Would my project be still compatible with the version I am going to update it to, or I'll be changing some codes in my project.

Hope someone will help me, I'm kinda of scared making a mistake. Thanks for your consideration.

Answer 1

Update your XCode to latest version It would support all lower version as well. Lower version of XCode doesn't support the upper IOS version than its Compatible IOS version but the latest version of XCode would support all lower IOS version .

I think it is clear enough.

Answer 2

Doesnt Xcode 4.3 support 5.1 Already? are you on Lion? if so, then xcode 4.3 should be supporting 5.1 already.. BTW, xcode 4.3.3 is a lot better and stable version. You shouldn't be worried about it, and have it updated.

Answer 3

As you can see at the description , Xcode 4.3.3 and Xcode 4.0 both compatible with Lion and support iOs 5.1.

What i want you to know is that from iPhone 5 release it became clear that iOs 6.0 is coming today, probably with the Xcode 4.5 release version to support the latest SDK - it must require Mountain Lion though. And you'll probably lose armv6 support.

Usually you don't have to change any part of the code for the newer SDK support unless you are using something declared as private at header comments or explicitly marked as deprecated.
