My app doesn't support iPhone 4s & 5 on the App Store?

Question

I have just updated a new version of my app and its not supporting iPhone 4s & 5.

From the App Store:

Compatibility: Requires iOS 8.0 or later. Compatible with iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPad Air, iPad Air Wi-Fi + Cellular, iPad mini 2, iPad mini 2 Wi-Fi + Cellular, iPad Air 2, iPad Air 2 Wi-Fi + Cellular, iPad mini 3, iPad mini 3 Wi-Fi + Cellular, iPad mini 4, iPad mini 4 Wi-Fi + Cellular, iPad Pro, iPad Pro Wi-Fi + Cellular, and iPod touch (6th generation).

My older version did support all iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.

In Build settings the valid architectures are (for both debug and release): arm64, armv7 and armv7s

Under required device capabilities I had armv7. My simulators show iPhone 4 & 5 and it runs great.

How do I fix this?

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Build Settings -> Build Active Architecture Only (Release) = No

Answer 2

So I found the answer to my question.

When I archived my app I had to select "iOS Device" and not archiving for a device that's plugged in at the time.

Check your info.plist file for items listed under "require device capabilities" It's possible that something has crept into this array that requires iPhone 5S+ to run.
