Why iOS 4.3 or higher required for simple apps?

I am seeing more of apps that require 4.3 or above. These are apps that certainly don’t require 4.3 (nothing fancy, they look like they can even run on iOS 3.)

Did Corona’s default version requirement change to 4.3 or something?

I currently have iPhone 4 with 4.2.8 and can’t install any of these apps. I would understand for games like Infinity Blade but for simple games, it’s kinda silly to set the minimum requirements so high. (Before you tell me to upgrade, this is my testing phone and I refuse to upgrade)

@iolo72, if you want to build for iOS below 4.3, you need to use the earlier Corona build. I think it was as of daily build 707 that iOS below 4.3 was dropped, but I’m not 100% sure. Anyhow, if you want to support the iOS below 4.3, you probably want to use 704B, which also supports New iPad (retina). With 704B, you should be able to build for iOS 3.1.3 (or version close to it) and above.
