ABSOLUTELY NO SIMULATOR. The simulator is WIDLY different from a real iOS device. I recommend buying something cheap off of EBay and loading iOS 4.x into it if you really want to do some serious issue finding. Speaking from experience, we released a buggy version that was just meant to be a minor bug fix (ARC+Leaves= Epic Fail), anyways, because we did not test on a physical device, we shipped a build that crashed on startup. You NEED to test compatibility on a physical device.

In your target's summary view (select project icon at top of Navigator view, elect your target in the editor view, select the Summary tab), set the "Deployment Target" to 4.0, then make your code such that you either don't use any API newer than 4.0 or you conditionally use it based on the installed OS version.
