Build 1095 has the following listed in it’s release notes:
iOS - change the minimum supported iOS version to 5.1 (from 4.3) because we can’t support 4.3 - no casenum
There is a fix I need from version 1106. Does this mean if I want to get that fix I have to abandon my 4.3 customers? Will they even get notified of the update for will the just be stuck at the previous version of my app forever?
Is there anyway to target 4.3 if we know nothing we use needs iOS 5.1 features?

Do you now how many 4.3 customers you have? The last stats I saw was globally its under 1.5%. So yes, you will have to abandon your 4.3’s if you use a build greater than 1094. I’m not really sure what the user experience is if you upgrade and they don’t make the standard.
My understanding is there will be no user experience because the App can no longer be updated due to minimum support for ios 5.1 (hence rendering the original App obsolete even if all the users have updated to 5.1 or above, furthermore the only option for the developer being to create a new one).

There must have been a lot of Apps developed using Corona that can no longer be updated.Is there a workaround solution with out rolling back to build 1094?
Perhaps one workaround would be to update the build.settings file…
settings = { iphone = { plist = { MinimumOSVersion = "4.3.0", ...
…Corona documentation ( http://docs.coronalabs.com/guide/distribution/buildSettings/index.html ) states that “MinimumOSVersion” can be used to set minimum iOS version. I’m curious to see if setting this value will override, but can’t verify due to lack of device with 4.3 installed on it.
You can update your app with the latest build of Corona and it will then require 5.1 to run. Apple allow this and even in the link supplied it states that.
What the user sees is that in the App Store it will say there is a update but you can’t click the update button as it knows your running a older version of iOS.
