I am just starting out trying to build an app with xcode. For now, I have to use xcode 3.2.6. How can I build an app for iPOD? When selecting a template for my project I select Window-based application, but under "Product" I can only choose between iPAD and iPHONE. I am tasked with creating an app that will run on iPODs, so I am confused on this point. Almost everything I have seen high and low refers only to iPhone or iPad. Please explain. Thanks!

Noah's answer is right on target. Just choose iPhone and your app will work on both iPhone/iPod. Just make sure that you only use iPod compatible SDK's. – Tommie C. May 11 '15 at 20:55

@TommieC. What are iPod compatible SDKs? All iOS SDKs work on the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. – rmaddy May 11 '15 at 22:31

@Elkon using Xcode 3 is a waste of time. It's terribly out of date. Most of what you learn will be obsolete. – rmaddy May 11 '15 at 22:32

@rmaddy Essentially I am referencing access to the different hardware capabilities that are not available on iPod's. – Tommie C. May 12 '15 at 02:09

Assuming you’re talking about an iPod touch rather than a nano or shuffle (neither of which has a third-party SDK), you should be using an iPhone target. The distinction between that and an iPad one in Xcode is entirely about screen size, and every iPod touch has had a screen the size of an iPhone’s.
