Is there a way I can require iOS5 or iOS6 with Corona SDK? Or do I need Enterprise to do that?
I’m using the iOS Built in Twitter feature which requires iOS5.
I know with XCode you can set a deployment target to require iOS5 or iOS6, but I’m not sure if there’s a way to do that when building in Corona.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Ben,
Please refer to the following guide under “iOS Build Settings” (see the “MinimumOSVersion” setting).

Yup it’s very easy actually!
In your build.settings you should see this:
iphone = {
plist = {
UIStatusBarHidden = true,
}
},
Just add another key MinimumOSVersion and set it to whatever you want (in string form). Should look like this when done:
iphone = {
plist = {
UIStatusBarHidden = true,
MinimumOSVersion = “5.0”,
}
},
The above will not let the app be installed on devices running iOS 4.x and under.
Hope this helps!

Thanks for the super quick replies! I totally missed that in the docs, but glad it’s super easy to do!
Not to hijack the thread, but besides “integrated Twitter functionality,” is there a chart or list to show what native features or changes are in which iOS in order to set such a minimum requirement? I’m a version number freak and always update to the latest, but I’ve seen over the years that people really don’t do it as often as they should, and I don’t want anything resulting in poor ratings or few stars because of something they or I were expecting or not expecting to have on their device, etc.
I don’t know if there is a comprehensive list anywhere, but you should be pretty good with iOS 5 as a minimum. It supports all generations of iPad and 3rd gen + for phones/iPod Touch (which is about three years old at this point). With over the air downloads and the notification icon for updates I have to believe people are upgrading much more frequently than they previously did.
That’s my two cents anyways, but I agree a nice feature list would be great for reference.
