When I compiled the apps, I built them specifying iOS 3, as that was the least common denominator that would allow virtually everybody to install the apps. This was with the iOS 4.2 SDK. If I recompile my app with the iOS 5 SDK, but still specify iOS 3, does that mean it's also compiled for iOS5 as well, since I'm using the iOS 5 SDK? Which would mean that I could submit it as an update to take advantage of the iOS 5 release, even though nothing hinges on that OS? Does that make any sense? Thanks!
