Base SDK and Build Target for iPad?

Unity Engine

I’m finally getting around to porting my iPhone game to the iPad, what do I need to set the SDK and Build Target to?

Also, I’m still using 1.7, any gotchas I need to be aware of?

Thanks…

Always, always, always set the Base SDK to the newest version available no matter what. There is no good reason that I have ever heard to set your Base SDK to anything other than the newest. From there, you will want to set your deployment target to the lowest possible SDK that your game will work with, which would be 3.2 in the case of iPad.

Thanks.

I don’t supposed you know if Apple is still accepting SDK 4.1?

I haven’t installed 4.2 yet.

to my knowledge only 4.0 is required but if you target ipad you must be on 4.2 as ipad does not support 4.0 and you must be on a 4.x at very least

I was hoping to avoid another lengthy download, but it sounds like I don’t have a choice.

Thanks.

Why would you submit an app with 4.1 when 4.2 is out? That makes no sense. By doing that you are throwing away all the fixes and performance improvements Apple made in 4.2. As I mentioned in my previous post, ALWAYS build against the latest SDK.

Because 4.1 is on my machine and working now. Last time I upgraded, it broke Xcode.

@tonyd, just be sure to run the uninstaller with Xcode and things usually go smoothly. I have had 3 Macs and been using the SDK since the initial iOS Beta 2 and have never had an issue with installs but that is besides the point. You owe it to your users to give them the most bug free up to date experience possible.

See, this is why I didn’t want to upgrade.

Xcode broke again.

I’m getting the ‘Base SDK missing’ error, but the normal fixes aren’t fixing it.

Okay, it seems to be fixed.

I had to set the ‘Base SDK for all Configurations’
Under Edit Project Settings >> General

A restart was required for this to take effect.

See, that wasnt too bad :slight_smile: Now, just like that you get all your users all the bug fixes that come with the SDK update!

Thanks for the help, the game is available now, Apple’s review process is a LOT quicker then it used to be!

I guess apple has hired some fair amount of staff in expectation for a mac app store rush and is partially overstaffed for the time being

Does iTunes no longer show new releases? I can’t seem to find any new releases, except for those new apps Apple is showcasing.
