IOS: test app old device

When I create an app I want to test my app on old devices (i.e. iOS 3.0). Can I set up the simulator with older versions of iOS to test my app?

You can change the hardware the iOS simulator simulates, but only if you have the old version of the SDK installed. You can do this by choosing the menu Hardware -> Version and then the 3.x version you want.

Please note this is not the recommended way! The simulator is nice for quickly testing some new features, but the simulator has bugs and other major differences. So test your App always on a iOS 3 device.

Get a first generation iPhone to test on or grab an iPhone 3G and downgrade it to iPhone OS 3. It's not supported by Apple, but Google will help you on downgrading an iPhone to OS 3.
