Provide update only for iOS 7

We have decided to drop support for ios < 7 with the next update of our app (its a small project so there is no big issue here).

my question is - will ios6,5,... users still be able to use the last version of the app, or will they be provided with the same update as ios 7 users and have a non-working app from there on?

in extension: how do we create a build that will only be available for ios7 users and not mess with older versions of the app for non-update users? is it sufficient to specivy Deployment target: ios 7 in xcode?

Since last week, Apple gives people on older iOS versions the option to download the latest compatible version of an app.

Updating an app to a a version that's no longer supported was always restricted, and it is sufficient to set the Deployment Target in the General settings to the desired minimum iOS version.
