I need to add a calendar event to the user's Calendar when they click a button.
This works in the simulator, but when I attempt to deploy to my 3GS running iOS 4.01, XCODE throws 1000+ errors!
Any ideas?
Thanks!

I think that I solved this.
In Project > Edit Project Settings under the Architecture, I had the Base SDK set to iPhone 3.2. When I changed it to iPhone 4.0, it compiled and deployed to my iPhone 3GS running iOS 4.
I think that this is due to Event Kit being something that was added in iOS 4 and not available in earlier versions.
I was planning to target earlier devices. So, I guess it's back to the drawing board to come up with a solution to adding a reminder/event to the user's calendar.

iOS project. Base SDK 4.2, deployment target 3.0. A customer is complaining about an issue on iOS 3.1 (he has an old device).
I tried installing Xcode 3.2.3 - the oldest there is for download. It does not offer iOS 3.1 as a test target. Does anyone know how can I enable older versions of iOS on the simulator?
The box also has Xcode 4 (in a different folder). Could it be the case that they're sharing the iOS simulator, and the backwards-incompatible one from Xcode 4 is getting in the way?
There is no substitute for testing on a real device.
I've had a problem with my iPod touch (3rd gen, ios 5.0) crashing in one app. Every day. The dev won't buy, beg, borrow or steal a real iPod touch to test it on so he can fix it. As a user this is extremely frustrating.
EDIT:
The final versions of Xcode with the iPhone SDK, as it was called then, are not available from Apple's download page, but the direct links still work.
The direct links can be found at:

If you use the latest Xcode, you can install device debugging support via the Downloads->Components section, a la: http://cl.ly/3U1V1G3W2p2E1G29342e

Some of the links are dead though. Apple is removing those old files little by little. Get them while supplies last.
I've been having trouble getting my app to run in this configuration. Has anyone figured out how to do this? Currently, my app doesn't even show up when I try to run on the device.
iOS5 is not supported by iPod Touch 2nd Gen.
No wonder why you're having trouble ;)
You should set Deployment target of your Project to lower firmware version (f.e. 4.3), because iOS 5 is still beta, we are not allowed to run the aps on it.
If my deployment target is set to iOS 4.1 and submitted to apple, and they test the app on iOS 4.3, would that cause the app to malfunction? My app was rejected for a bug that I am unable to recreate on my iPhone 4. The exact same device model they tested the app on. I simply cannot find the bug or error in my code. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
If you build your app to target iOS 4.1 it should run on iOS 4.3. It's possible that your app does something that works on 4.1 but causes a problem on 4.3; I had that myself with an app already in the store, and had to post an update so it worked correctly under a newer iOS release.
Note that you can tell the iOS Simulator what version iOS to simulate: on the Hardware menu, select Version, and subsequent runs will be tested against that version of the system libraries.
The simulator is not a perfect reproduction of a real device, but hopefully you can do this to reproduce the behavior that Apple has seen on their devices.
Did you test it on your iPhone 4 with iOS 4.3? There's two parts to the puzzle. If they rejected it for crashing under iPhone 4, you have to check all the different iOS versions you claim to support. The target iOS 4.1 should still make it work on 4.3, you just might have a crash (which apparently you do). Through testing with that actual software version on your iPhone, you'll find the bug and hopefully squash it. Good luck!
I recently upgraded XCode to run iOS 4.2 from iOS 3.2. However, now, when I try to run my iPad app, it appears as an iPhone app in the simulator! It appears as the smaller box with the option to expand 2x. Does anyone know why this would be so?
In addition, although the application builds and runs (albeit incorrectly), XCode still says that the Base SDK is missing. I have gone into the Build Info for the target and the project and set the following:
Base SDK: Latest iOS (currently set to iOS 4.2)
Targeted Device Family: iPad
iOS Deployment Target: iOS 3.2
Edit Thanks a lot for the comments; now there is no longer a Base SDK missing, but unfortunately, the app still runs as an iPhone app...
When I load a UISplitViewController, I get an exception 'UISplitViewController is only supported when running under UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad'.
This all seems very strange to me. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
The installed app could be broken.
What happens when you delete the app from the Simulator and do a clean build and run?
The Simulator could be broken.
What happens when you create a new different iPad app from an Xcode template?
You configuration could be broken, or you could have different settings for different targets and builds than you want, or the wrong plist or plist keys, or the wrong xib. If the new template app works, compare these one by one.
I eventually was able to fix this problem. I attempted all the methods outlined by the other answerers, but none of them worked. However, when I upgraded to XCode 4, the problem fixed itself.
I honestly don't know what changes to my app were made by this upgrade, and I am still baffled at why the project was not compiling before. I suppose upgrading your environment is one (somewhat unsatisfying) way to fix this sort of bug....
Check that you have set the appropriate settings for the current build target as well as the base project. So from the project menu:
Edit Project Settings
Edit Active Target blah
I have often forgotten to check the settings for the current target and had a similar experience.
I upgraded my Xcode from 3.1.2 to Xcode Version 3.2.3 and upgraded my device to 4.0 OS. I have set my Base SDK to iPhone Device OS 4.0 and the iPhone OS deployment Target to iPhone OS 3.1.2.
When I run my application (which was created in 3.1.2) on device under iOS4.0, and I see problems such as dates not displayed and the "back" buttons not appearing in the navigation bar. The app works fine when under 3.1.2 and 3.2.
What could be causing the problems under iOS4.0? Are my SDL and Deployment settings correct?
Edit:
I have solved date issue and back button issues.
Thanks.
Your deployment settings look correct.
Do you use any third-party library in your application ? What kind of "back" buttons do you use, are they customized ?
You're settings are probably correct. The NSDateFormatter class has gotten less lenient in iOS4 and -[NSDateFormatter dateFromString:] will return nil in more cases if it runs into a problem.
There might be some quirks with xCode itself... try clean'ing all targets selecting all checkboxes, restarting and rebuilding again... as Luzal said try to update third-party libraries if you use them... Need more info, anyway...
