I wanted to do a test build for IOS 5.1 devices but that was no longer listed in my corona options.
Why is that my apps are still used on 5.1
Can someone tell me is this Corona or Apples SDK ?
Thanks
Larry
Hey, Larry, the app you build should still run on 5.1 (even if the Corona build options don’t include 5.1)

When compiling it shows 6.1 and 7beta.
Then After I compile I can not drag my app onto my IPAD that is 5.1.1
I Get an error that says: Could Not Support Development
Is this because the version of XCode ? Do i need to remove and install the older version?
anyone have a clue??
Thanks
Larry
It could be an XCode problem. Are you using the developer preview for the new xcode or the last release xcode?
it should be the released xcode - but since I see 7 beta in the list i guess it could be the preview. I will see about uninstalling it and getting the one from the app store or where ever 
I’ll report back here when i do.

You’re going to see the iOS7 Beta preview when you try to build. That’s something we put there. But to use it (i.e. test on device), you have to also have installed the XCode preview (XCode5-DP2). If you’re using iOS6.x, you can use the last release of XCode and pretend the iOS7 entry isn’t there.
my version of xCode says 4.6.3 ( 4H1503 ) so should I be able to use it to build for IOS 5.1.1?
XCode Wont let me install it on my ipad like it use to.
Try starting the Terminal and type xcode-select --print-path It should print the path to your Xcode 4 app. If it shows a path to the Xcode 5 preview app, you’ll need to change that with ‘xcode-select -switch’ and build your app again.
After verifying the above - I decided to change my USB Cable ( it went bad ).
Now app is downloading onto my device…
So everyone - nothing to see here - no issues - please move along…
Thanks for everyone’s response.

I was also searching on how to support iOS5.1, as it is stated by Corona that it supports iOS 5.1+
So, just to confirm, by building the app under “iOS 6”, will have it also compatible with iOS 5.1 ? Cause i am using xCode 4.6.3 on Mac OS x 10.8.5
Your apps will be able to run on devices with iOS 5.1.
Even though you’re compiling with the 6.1 SDK, Corona will put the “MinimumOSVersion” key in the app bundle for you so that you’ll have 5.1 compatibility.
As I started this thread I can reply and verify that it works like a charm, and all is right with the world
