UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities and Device Compatibility Matrix

October 30, 2012 • tweet

This is an update of the Device Compatibility Matrix in the iTunes Connect Developer Guide, updated with the iPad 4 and the iPad mini. The matrix capabilities can be used with the UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities key of your Info.plist to precisely target your app and features (see How to Indicate What Devices Are Supported by Your iOS App). Some interesting facts:

The iPhone 5 is the first iPhone to be introduced without any new capabilities. The iPhone 5 has an armv7s cpu but there is no equivalent capabilities,
Except some weird flavours (the iPhone 4 Verizon iPhone) and the AppleTV, there are 22 iOS devices.
