What do I have to write on Podfile to launch my application on both ios8, ios9 devices?

In the Podfile, if I write 

platform :ios, '9.0'

It will crash when I launch the application on ios8 device:

dyld: Symbol not found: ___NSArray0__
  Referenced from: /private/var/mobile/Containers/Bundle/Application/CFE-45CC-429B-88E7-52E123/MYAPP.app/MYAPP
  Expected in: /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreFoundation.framework/CoreFoundation
 in /private/var/mobile/Containers/Bundle/Application/CAFE-45CC-429B-88E7-52212593/MYAPP.app/MYAPP

Note: I am using XCode7.1 Beta, Objective-C, CocoaPod 0.38.0

why not platform :ios, '8.0' – u.gen
I think platform: ios, '8.0', the pod framework will be updated to be compatible with ios 8.0, not ios 9.0. So that's why I leave it as '9.0' – chipbk10
it supposed to be the lowest version you support, in our projects we do support 7.0 , it works fine with ios 9 devices as well. However there are other issues with pods introduced with xcode 7- ios 9 that we had to resolve platform :ios, '7.0' remains the same in our podfiles.... – u.gen
what issues is that? – chipbk10

The platform line in your Podfile should be set to the lowest supported version. In otherwords use this:

platform :ios, '8.4'
