UICollectionView in ios 5

I just learned about UICollectionView after creating the same functionality in a custom class. So I am thinking about using deleting all that code I wrote and just using UICollectionView.

I know my app gets a lot of installs on iOS 5. And I know a lot non tech savvy friends and family still have it installed.

I googled this and it says I can use some other's guys library(another thing I should have known before writing my custom class). But the answer was not definitive.

So my question is, does Apple include a bridge for iOS 5 or will my app just fail if I use UICollectionView?

I have my target deployment set to 5.0 and it is not giving me any warnings.

UICollectionView is iOS6 only. You can include extra code to check for iOS6 and use your custom class on iOS5. But there is no way to use an actual UICollectionView in iOS5.'

Thats what that "other guy's library" does. It has an iOS5 compliant clone of UICollectionView and checks based on the OS which to use.
