I am updating an app (whose original deployment target was 3.1.2) and I'm trying test it on a 2nd generation iPod Touch with iOS 4.2.1. The current release of Xcode (4.5) no longer connects to any device before iOS 4.3, so I can't put the application over USB or even monitor the device log, so installation needs to be over the air using an ad hoc distribution.
I am able to wirelessly install the app on an iOS 6 iPod Touch, but when I try to install it on the 4.2.1 device, I see it download and I see the app label say "Installing...", but in the end I get the pop-up message Unable to Download "[app name]"
.
Three important details:
- The ad hoc cert I'm using is good.
- I've confirmed with the iPhone Configuration Utility that the ad hoc distribution certificate is installed on the 4.2.1 device.
- I'm worried that I may have used an SDK method or property that only works in 4.3+, though I do not know if any binary validation happens during installation.
Does anyone know what might be happening?
Does anyone know how I can read the device console for a pre-4.3 device without installing an earlier version of XCode?
