iOS Minimum OS Version

Getting Started Newbie Questions
1

I apologize if this has been asked/answered before and I was unable to find it.

It seems, Corona SDK defaults to building for iOS 3.1 in the current version. I am using embedded fonts in an app, which is a feature only supported in iOS 3.2 and up.

The app will still run on 3.1 but no text will appear.
I know I could write a custom class to replace the font with a system font if iOS version <= 3.1, but that creates lots of issues with setting the font.

Thus I decided to only release the app for 3.2 and higher.

Now the question is -> How can I set the minimum iOS version in Corona SDK?
In Xcode, it’s a simple build setting. However, that’s not done in the plists that can be manipulated through build.settings and config.lua.

Does such functionality exist?
If yes, how can I access it?
If no, please add this to the bug tracker as missing fonts are sure to make a lot of users angry. [import]uid: 10292 topic_id: 7326 reply_id: 307326[/import]

Does Corona (Latest Build) Supports iPhone 3GS ?
I have OS 4.3.3 installed on the device.

Hello Pellen,

The Corona SDK build 750 and up only accepts iOS 4.3 and above. Am I wrong?

And how about the people with iPod with iOS 4.2.1? Is there any way to compile for them using the Corona build 750 or above?

Thanks,

No, you are correct; we did drop support for iOS below 4.3 in a recent daily build. (I believe 750.)

You’d have to compile using a previous build of Corona. [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 7326 reply_id: 89387[/import]

Hi Peach,
I tried building my app with version 740, but Xcode still complains that the minimum iOS version is 4.3. What is the most recent Corona SDK that supports iOS 4.2.1 (eg. for iPhone 3G) ? [import]uid: 121401 topic_id: 7326 reply_id: 92227[/import]

Daily Build 706 is the last one that supports iOS 4.2.1 (or rather, iOS 3.1.3 and above).

Hi friends,

Can anyone post the build.lua which includes the details of MinimumOSVersion.

Thanx in advance… [import]uid: 137063 topic_id: 7326 reply_id: 110858[/import]

Where can I download build 706? I want to try your SDK on my iPhone 3 before committing to a purchase/subscription and iPhone 3 can’t upgrade any higher than 4.2.1

You cannot download build 706 unless you are a subscriber as it was a *daily build* - however you can download 704 I believe, try this link; http://developer.coronalabs.com/content/coronasdk-2011704-0
