You can support iPhone 5 (taller screens) by just including a splash screen with the right size. That's how the iPhone 5 decides whether to letterbox your app. You don't actually need to use any particular version of the SDK.
If you want to actually call newer APIs then you have a bigger problem. It is possible with ObjectiveC to check whether a method exists at runtime, and that's often how you detect whether a feature is supported. You could probably link against the old SDK and still use some of those new features. It just might be very tedious. I am nearly certain that Apple does not reject apps which don't link against the latest SDK. I'm open to being proved wrong, but I have anecdotal evidence to the contrary, and I have been unable to find anything from Apple that says you have to link against the latest SDK. For one thing that would make your situation impossible. Plus it's just annoying as hell to have to upgrade SDKs for no good reason. -- Adam Kemp adam.k...@ni.com (512) 683-6058 monotouch-boun...@lists.ximian.com wrote on 09/27/2012 02:44:09 PM: > From: Justin Hansen <fence...@gmail.com> > To: monotouch@lists.ximian.com, > Date: 09/27/2012 02:44 PM > Subject: [MonoTouch] iPhone 5 ARM7 and ARM6 > Sent by: monotouch-boun...@lists.ximian.com > > My application currently supports ARM6 and ARM7.
