will an iphone app built with Base SDK 3.2 be rejected by apple?

Question

I've recently updated xcode to 3.2 and to the iPhone SDK 4.0. I've submuitted the binary and my app is "waiting for review". However, my base SDK was set to iPhone Device 3.2 and I have been reading rumours that apps not submitted with iPhone SDK4.0 wont be approved. Is this correct? My deployment target is 3.0, but BASE SDK is iPHone Device 3.2. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

If you see https://developer.apple.com/iphone/checklist/ Apple says:

All new applications and updates to existing applications submitted to the App Store must be built with iPhone SDK 4.

However I do know of people who have had 3.2-built apps accepted in the past week so it doesn't look like Apple is rejecting apps based on the SDK at the moment.

So if you have already submitted your app, I would wait and see what happens. Otherwise you should compile with the 4.0 SDK.

Answer 2

That should be fine, I submitted an app like this a week ago.

Base SDK 3.2 should be correct if you want you app to be compatible with iPads (they require 3.2). If I am correct I think you will find that the iPhone will be compiled 4.0.
