Target older iOS version with Corona build for Simulator?

Hello,

I am trying to fix a bug on an older iOS version, but I cannot get Corona to build for it.

I have XCode 4.3.2 and I have added the iOS 4.3 SDK - I can choose it as an option in the iOS Simulator.
However, when Corona builds the app, it seems to only do it for the more recent version - 5.1.
It opens up the SImulator running 5.1. When I change the iOS version to 4.3.2 in the Simulator, the app is not installed there.
The terminal shows this when the build completes:
[DEBUG] SDK Root: path=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator5.1.sdk version=5.1 name=Simulator - iOS 5.1[DEBUG] using device family unspecified[/code]Is there a way to target the older iOS version when building with Corona?Alternatively, is there a way to install a Corona build manually in the iOS Simulator? I tried dragging one in, but that didn’t work.Thanks,Séamus [import]uid: 56440 topic_id: 26800 reply_id: 326800[/import]

hi Séamus, do you have any update of this ? I have to do the same thing. Test my app with 4.3, 5.1 and also 6.0 simulators.
Thanks.

Hi pbriz,

As you can see, I never got an answer about this.
Good luck.

Got this working

Go to /Users//Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator

You will see folder for each version. Open the version that Corona uses, for me it’s 6.0. Open the Applications folder. Each folder in there is an application. They have long alphanumeric names. You want to copy that whole folder over to Applications under the other version you want to test. The easiest way to know which one it is is to delete all of them then watch that Applications folder when you do a Corona build for the iOS Simulator. Just copy that folder and it should work. If your target version doesn’t have an Applications folder yet just create it (or even just copy the whole Applications folder from 6.0)

I even made a screenshot: http://solidjade.com/2012/iPhone%20Simulator.png

If in the iOS simulator you don’t see versions other than 6.0 go to Xcode > Preferences > Download and you can download older versions.
