My app supports iOS 8 to 9. A user told me that the app keeps freezing on his iPhone 6S running iOS 8. As seen from Apple's spec, 6S only supports iOS 9 and Xcode does not have an iPhone 6S iOS 8 simulator. Officially, can iOS 8 run on iPhone 6S?
It can't, the user probably owns an iPhone 6 or 6 plus.

I planned to develop application with targeted devices iPhone 5/5S, iPhone 6/6+ . I don't want my application to be runnable on iPhone 4S. Can i able to achieve that?
I googled some sites , they were mentioned that we can restrict older version mobiles like iPhone 3GS using front camera or other new features.
But in my case iPhone 4S is capable of upgrading OS version upto 8, Is there a way to restrict application for iPhone 4S ?
Need your help!
No there is not. if your app supports iOS8 it must run on all devices which support that OS. iPhone 4S included.
I am going to develop an iOS universal application. I want to target iOS 5,6 and 7.
I am using xCode 5 for my development. I want to know is it possible to support iOS 5,6 and iOS 7 in same app?
Yes, set the deployment target to iOS 5. You will have to make separate storyboards for iOS 5/6 and 7, and choose which to load upon startup based off of the device's OS.
I developed an iPhone app that works on iOS 6 and iOS 7 but not in iOS 5 or iOS 4.3
I want to release this app to App Store.
Will the store reject my app because it is not work in iOS 4.3 or the Store accepts the apps that work on iOS 7 as its the new thing?
Hope anyone got my mean.
No problem with that. Keep your deployment target as iOS 6.0. That will be fine
If your app is just for iOS 6 and iOS 7 that is fine it will just be restricted to device with that iOS on them. As long as you have set your Deployment Target to be 6.0 it will work fine and not be rejected. And unless your app goes against the Apple Review Guidelines you will be fine.
Additional note that isn't in the guidelines
Your app must work on retina 4 inch (iPhone 5) otherwise it will be rejected.
Good luck with your submission.
This is a pretty lame question, but still I want to make sure before I shell out cash for an iOS 5 device.
Is there any way to test an app on iOS 5 on a device running iOS 6 or later?
I have an iPad Retina running iOS 6. I am developing an app which will support iPad 1 as well. (iOS 5). I want to test it on a device as well (instead of just relying in the iOS 5 simulator).
Any alternative to borrowing/buying someone's iPad 1? Thanks.
Yes, you can test an iOS 5 App on an iOS 6 device. But, the reverse is false.
I think is not in your interest to buy an iPad 1.
Actually, there is less than 5% user on iOS 5. So, you can set aside this version of iOS.
Have a look here.
And, if you use XCode 5 and you want to keep iOS SDK 6, you can follow my answer here.
I'm not sure how this aspect works as our company is new to iOS development. We have an app that builds for iOS 5. We've been running Xcode 4.3.2. We want our app to be usable on iOS 5 and iOS 6. Are we ok using 4.3.2 and submitting our iOS 5 app to the app store. Or do we need to download Xcode 4.5 and build it for iOS 6? Thanks.
You can submit using Xcode 4.3.2, no problem with that, and submitting with iOS 5. It will run on iOS 6 still.
However, you should seriously consider downloading the latest Xcode and iOS 6 SDK, and making sure your app runs fine on both iOS 5 and iOS 6, as sometimes there are API changes which need to be accounted for and fixed.
