Is it still possible to submit apps targeted for iOS5 or iOS6 to the App Store after the release of iOS7

Like the question says, will I be able to submit iOS5/iOS6 apps to the App Store given that iOS7 is rolled out now? Or do I have to target iOS7 for my builds?

I understand that there is a great amount of UI changes, new features, not looking good, etc involved but I just want to know if it is still possible to submit old targets

Cheers

Yes it is still possible to submit apps targeted at older versions, as long as they perform on iOS 7 as well.

There is also now an option for people using legacy versions of iOS to download app versions that are targeted for that version.

Nice article about that here: http://thenextweb.com/apple/2013/09/17/apple-begins-allowing-users-running-legacy-ios-builds-to-download-older-versions-of-apps/

Your app is built to a specific SDK version, which is different from the deployment target. Apple typically require you to submit apps that have been built to the latest public SDK version, although I believe right now you can still submit apps built to iOS 6.

So you can target iOS 5/6 as you require - however, going forward your app will have to be built with the iOS 7 SDK.
