iPhone Build SDK 4.0 With 3.2 Target Won't Install on iPad OS 3.2

I'm building an app for iPhone/iTouch that I also want to run on iPads (not a universal app, but one that just runs on on iPad with the 1x/2x button in the lower right hand corner).

I'm using iPhone SDK 4.0 and setting the following:

  • Base SDK: 4.0
  • iPhone OS Deployment Target: 3.2

When I do this, I can build an app just fine and run it on an iPhone/iTouch, but when I try to install it on my iPad I get the following error: The Info.plist for application specifies a minimum OS version of 4.0

In addition, if I package up the binary and submit it to Apple and it becomes available on the iTunes store, it shows that it's only available for iPhone (not the iPad). When I go to the App Store icon on my iPad, it doesn't even list the app as available (because Apple thinks it won't run on iPad, I assume).

Now I'm really confused, because I thought I understood the difference between the Base SDK and the Deployment Target, but Xcode is telling me I don't.

Can anyone help explain this to me?

As an aside but related question, if I build with Base SDK = "iPhone Device 3.2" it works fine on my iPad, but by doing so would I lose the Base SDK 4.0 built-in multi-tasking feature?

Check the 'Targeted Device Family' setting in your target's build settings. It needs to be set to iPhone/iPad if you want to be able to deploy to both devices.

This build setting automatically sets the UIDeviceFamily entry in the app's Info.plist (You shouldn't update this yourself, though—use the build setting instead.)
