How does Apple appstore handle versions?

What happens if I post a version for IOS 7 on the appstore and someone with IOS 6 attemps to get it? do they get a message? do they just fail? Of course I cannot try this as Apple will delete my previous version...

If you are speaking of iOS 7 only applications the user will not be able to download the application until they have the correct OS running on their device. I believe if the application has a pre-iOS 7 version available it is possible to download this on earlier OS versions looking at the following documentation:
