Installing older version of Apple apps

I have two versions of my app in the AppStore. Version 1 and Version 1.1

I have a user that REALLY want's to use version 1 of the app (for specific reasons), can he now download that version instead of the latest release?

I know Apple claims to allow the download of older versions, but I have a stinky feeling that Apple also applies their own conditional logic to this feature: i.e. Only allow the download of an older version if the newer version is not supported by the user's current iOS.

I hope I'm wrong, but on my iPad there is no option to download version 1 in the AppStore.

PS. My itunesconnect setup is correct as follows: image http://imageshack.com/scaled/medium/818/u635.png

No Apple will only offer to download an older version of your app if the new is not longer supporting the user iOS version.

Lest say user 1 is on iOS 5 and can upgrade, you new version is only available on 6 and 7. Them the user will be prompted with the option to download the previous version.

Users cannot choose the version to download themselves.
