Not supporting iphone 3gS or below.

Hi,
I looked at this game in appstore and noticed the device requirements for certain app like this :
“Compatible with iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch (4th generation), iPod touch (5th generation), iPad 2 Wi-Fi, iPad 2 Wi-Fi + 3G, iPad (3rd generation), iPad Wi-Fi + 4G, iPad (4th generation), iPad Wi-Fi + Cellular (4th generation), iPad mini and iPad mini Wi-Fi + Cellular. Requires iOS 4.0 or later. This app is optimized for iPhone 5.”

It excludes iphone3gs and ipod touch <4thgen. I’ve been searching on the apple dev documentations but couldn’t find any informations regarding this. The closest thing i found is :
http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/iPhone/Conceptual/iPhoneOSProgrammingGuide/App-RelatedResources/App-RelatedResources.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40007072-CH6-SW10

Has anyone released an app that only supports iphone 4 or above? and how do you set the app requirements?

You set your app to ‘require’ things that are not in the model you want to not support.

For example, by requiring that the device needs a front camera, it will prevent it being downloaded on iPhone 3GS and iPad 1st gen.

This thread I commented on before should help put you in the right direction:
