What does deployment target mean?


This is a very simple question I'm assuming. Can someone tell me what deployment target means? If I choose iOS 10, does that mean only users with iOS 10 can download the app? Is it bad to choose a lower deployment target? Also, continuing on deployment target, is it not recommended to run on a lower deployment target?


Solution

  • Let's say you have set the minimum deployment target to iOS 9. This means your application is compatible with devices running iOS 9 and above.

    The application won't run on devices below 9.0 but can run on any iOS version greater than or equal to iOS 9.0.
