xcode 4.5 runs ios 4.0 simulator (NOT)

I just upgrade to iOS 6 xcode 4.5
But I found that even in Xcode-reference-download there are only ios 5,6
I prefer my app to work also for the users using iOS 4.X

Any comment is welcomed.

XCode 4.5.x only supports armv7 architecture :

Changes in Xcode 4.5.x for ios 6

  1. Xcode 4.5.x (and later) does not support generating armv6 binaries.
  2. Now includes iPhone 5/armv7s support.
  3. The minimum supported deployment target with Xcode 4.5.x or later is iOS 4.3.
  4. The minimum support for iPhone is iPhone 3GS or later as earlier versions use armv6.

Hope this helps....

I can confirm that it works on Lion with Xcode 4.5 (Simulator 4.3)

If you're on Lion, you can still download the 4.3 simulator (at least I did with the Gold Master version, supposedly it still works with the final release).

On Mountain Lion, the 4.3 simulator is buggy (as seen in the first betas) and has thus been removed by Apple.

If you really need to, you can run Lion on top of Moutain Lion with Parallels Desktop or something similar, that's what I do.
