How do I check the iOS target version in Objective-C

I am currently working on an iOS app that targets iOS 9. Due to the age of this target version, I must work with older APIs and sometimes have to add workarounds for bugs in older versions.

I would like to make my code a bit easier to maintain, and preemptively mark parts that need to be refactored once the target version changes. Right now I am using TODO comments, but #warning directives would be nicer as they are better visible.

Is there a way to use an #if or #ifdef directive to check for the iOS target version of the app so that the warning will only appear once the target version changes?

You can check the value of the __IPHONE_OS_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED preprocessor macro:

#if __IPHONE_OS_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED >= 100000
#endif

That literal 100000 is the value of __IPHONE_10_0 from <Availability.h> but, as the comment there recommends, you should use the literal value, not the symbolic constant.
