Update App for older SDK iOS

Question

We have developed an application before iOS 8.0 release and with Base SDK 7.1.

Now our customer asked us for a change of the menu of the application but not to be combatible with iOS 8.1.

So we want to upload an update for iOS 7.1 Base SDK only and not for the latest Base SDK(iOS 8.1).

Is there any way?

iOS 7.1 does not appear as a selection to Base SDK drop down menu.

iOS 8 brings other changes, apart from those that you've outlined in the comments.

For example you'll have to add support for the way iOS 8 handles push notifications, location services and probably other things, depending on what your app does.

So the best thing to do is to compile with the iOS7 SDK that you've developed against and release that version to the store.

You can get the iOS7 SDK by following this tutorial .

Or just download Xcode 5.1.1 and use that to submit your app.

Starting at the 1st of February, though, you'll need to have support for iOS 8 in your app.
