I just sent my app to itunes using xcode 4.5 The app is compatible with iphone 3.5 screen and 4 screen. And with the iPad. When I go to binary details it says this:

Supported Architectures : armv7

Whats this mean? Will my app be compatible with all iPhones? Because it should work in any iphone model or ipad model. If no, how can I make it compatible with all devices (adding other architectures?)

Your app will run on the 3GS and later devices, assuming they meet your deployment target operating system version. To run on earlier devices, you need to build for ARM v6 as well, something I'm not sure you can do in Xcode 4.5.

XCode 4.5.x only supports armv7 architecture :

Changes in Xcode 4.5.x for ios 6

  1. Xcode 4.5.x (and later) does not support generating armv6 binaries.
  2. Now includes iPhone 5/armv7s support.
  3. The minimum supported deployment target with Xcode 4.5.x or later is iOS 4.3.
  4. The minimum support for iPhone is iPhone 3GS or later as earlier versions use armv6.

Interesting question, to avoid opening another similar question, what happen if I build my app for submission with armv6, armv7 architectures, iOS6 sdk, xCode 4.5 and deployment target 4.3?

I currently have armv6,armv7 Build settings under Architectures. Screenshot

With these settings I can successfully build and install my app to iPhone4,iPad3 devices and archive for Ad-hoc distribution without any warning about armv6.
