Thank you for the quick response,
I didnt mean to say that the OS version wasn’t recognized, it was. There was a message under Xcode organizer window for the iPad that sad the tool was not compatible with the version of iOS installed on the iPad. The message said to revert to a previous version of iOS from a backup.
It would appear that you can build your app with any version of Xcode compatible with the version of the Corona tool you are using but you cannot install that development build to an iPad unless the version of Xcode you use to install it with is current enough to be compatible with the version of the operating system. I guess as long as you have the newest version of Xcode installed this would never be a problem.
To verify this is true, try to use an install of Xcode 4.5.1 to install a build to an iPad running iOS 6.1
After I downloaded the new version of Xcode 4.6 it allowed me to transfer the build over, even though it was built with a previous version of Xcode 5.1.
The following dependencies are the ones that I need to consider for development
Corona Tool requires versions of OS, iOS and Xcode
Xcode requires versions of OS and iOS (for transfer)
