I have an iPad app, XCode 6, iOS 7, Storyboards and ARC. If I change the target to 7.x, the app works fine on the simulator running 7.0.
However, if I change the simulator to 8.0, the app doesn't recognize the CoreData store created when running under 7.x (the store is still there, just not found when running on the 8.0 simulator.) Also, none of the objects (UIButtons, UITextboxes, etc) show up either!
I don't have iOS 8 installed on my iPad (afraid stuff like this will affect my users), but the question is: just because something doesn't run on the simulator v8.0, does that mean that setting the lowest target to iOS 7, it won't run on the device if it is running iOS 8?

The iOS 7 simulator is on a separate (virtual) machine from the iOS 8 simulator. So any data you created one of these machines, will not be found on the other.
