Starting May 1: iOS apps must be built for Retina, iPhone 5

From Apple's dev news site: <a href="https://developer.apple.com/news/index.php?id=3212013a" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://developer.apple.com/news/index.php?id=3212013a</a> "Starting May 1, new apps and app updates submitted to the App Store must be built for iOS devices with Retina display and iPhone apps must also support the 4-inch display on iPhone 5.

So this is not forcing us to use ios 5 as the deployment target - it's just Apple saying - make it look good on the iphone 5? The other announcement tho- >>> Starting May 1, the App Store will no longer accept new apps or app updates that access UDIDs. Please update your apps and servers to associate users with the Vendor or Advertising identifiers introduced in iOS 6. I feel like some BT core code will probably need to be modded to deal with that? Moving the goal posts yet again.....

BT core code shouldn't need to change. When it grabs the device id (like for the cloud url reporting), here's the code to get the id: CFUUIDRef uuidObject = CFUUIDCreate(kCFAllocatorDefault); NSString *uuidStr = [(NSString *)CFUUIDCreateString(kCFAllocatorDefault, uuidObject) autorelease]; Basically this creates a random id, rather than getting the device's UDID.
