How can I set up my iOS project to run only on iPhone 5, iPhone 4S, iPhone 4, and all iPads except the iPad 1? I am committing to iOS 6 only.

    It would help if you explained why you want to restrict your app to just these devices. What about the iPod touch? – rmaddy Jun 27 '13 at 18:28
  • BTW - You should rethink the iOS 6 only choice. iOS 7 is in beta. It would be wise to support that too. – rmaddy Jun 27 '13 at 18:30

    If you want your apps to run on iOS 6 only then Apple will only make the app available to the device thats supports iOS 6. – JSA986 Jun 27 '13 at 18:31
  • What is your reason to not support the others? What about iPod touch? There must be reason: performance, camera capabilities, OpenGL version, anything. – Tricertops Jun 27 '13 at 18:40

By setting Deployment Target to iOS 6, you exclude iPad 1 and any iPhone older than 3GS. Not sure about iPods, but you didn't mention them.

Since iOS 6 runs on iPhone 3GS and you don't want to support it, you need to have reason. Tell us and there may be solution.

Edit: So if the main reason is non-retina display, you can't do much. You are not alone, who would prefer all devices to be retina-capable, but unfortunately… But hey, all retina graphics just works on these devices without a problem, so just leave it like that. Users of those devices know they have poor display.

  • hey, thanks, well not supporting 3gs is mainly because its non retina. – sleepy_ios Jun 27 '13 at 20:21
  • Aha, but then I see another problem: **iPad mini**. It is new device, so it deserves apps, but it has poor display, so with no extra detailed graphics. – Tricertops Jun 27 '13 at 20:39
