Filter App Store by compatible iOS version

I have an version 1 iPad and I would like to set a filter that only returns apps that are compatible with the 5.1.1 iOS version on my device. I haven't found a way to do this yet. It would be a handy feature for Apple to have implemented and I'm surprised that such a typically forward-thinking company hasn't done it yet!

Can you drop iOS 4 support for an app already in the App Store? What iOS version is good to target?

Now that AIR supports the MinimumOSVersion key, apps can set a specific minium version they will support. It wasn't available before, so it ended up in the app store with the default of 4.0.
Any device that AIR supported had to have ARMv7 anyways and I believe all ARMv7 iOS devices can update to at least 5.1.1, so would it be an issue with apple to drop iOS 4 support? Any device that could get the app before can upgrade to iOS 5+ for free to support it.
Only a small portion of people are still running iOS 4, and I get the feeling that most of those are folks with ancient ARMv6 devices that can't upgrade past iOS 4 and could never use the app anyways due to ARMv6. So why bother with testing for iOS 4 and possibly having to give iOS 4 related tech support?
If supporting 5+, is it a good idea to target 5.0 or 5.0.1 or 5.1 or 5.1.1 or what?

Any of the non-user generated resources is in the tmp or Cache folders (which are not backed up) on mine, so that shouldn't be an issue in my case.
I looked at the wiki for iOS 5 and i didn't see any developer-related features other than that 'do not back up' thing that were added between sub-versions of iOS 5, so maybe I should target 5.0?
I'm still wondering, how do you handle dropping older versions of iOS? Surly developers can't be expected to maintain support for discontinued versions of iOS forever just because their app has been around for awhile? Apps eventually need to advance and use new OS features and require performance of current devices. Just set the MinimumOSVersion key to 5.0 or whatever and that's it?

I have an old iPhone 3 gs. with ios 3.1.3. how can i update it to at least an ios 5 because it will not let me get games on the app store because the ios is so low.

Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; there isn't a Software Update option in General on iOS versions prior to 5.0. It can only be updated directly to the newest iOS release supported by the device’s hardware, which is iOS 6.1.6 for an iPhone 3GS.

Problem now resolved as I upgraded to Snow Leopard 10.6. Seems App Store doesn't like anything previous to 10.6.

My iPad app store is a US version not UK so I can't purchase anything, and it's all listed in $

I may have pressed something on my laptop that reset my iPad, then I just put the apps etc back on... But I have just tried a search in the app store and it's a US version! I cannot update my current UK app either, I message comes up saying it'll take me back to the UK store and that I should re-try but it still doesn't work. I have downloaded the latest iTunes and it didn't make a difference...

Any help would be great!

Assuming that you have a credit card in the UK, with a valid billing address for that credit card that matches the credit card statement ....
Launch the app store app. Go to the Featured Tab. Swipe to the bottom of the screen. Your ID is accessible in the lower left corner. Tap on the ID. Then tap View Apple ID. Enter your password. Go down to Country/Region and change the store to the UK in there.

I downloaded Yosemite and now my iPhoto has a bar across it and will not open. I need to update to the latest version. The app store says the latest version is not available in the Canadian Store. What can I do.

Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

App Store Genius in iOS 6 on iPad - does it still show iPad version of apps?

I've used the App Store Genius feature on an iPad that indicates when an iPad version of an installed app is available. The concept, in detail, is that if you have copied or downloaded an iPhone version of an app onto your iPad, this Genius feature lets you know if an iPad-specific version of the same app is available. This feature can obviously be quite handy for someone with both an iPhone and iPad who keeps largely the same apps on each.
I just updated to iOS 6, and I can no longer locate his feature within the App Store on an iPad. (I am using an iPad 2, specifically, though I don't see think should matter for this issue.) Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Yeah. I think one thing I used to like about Apple's App store over android google play store is that browsing by release date, I can discover some surprises. Top Paid and Top Free are often the big names or the cookie-mold free-to-play timesinks and they often stay there for a very long time. Please bring back the release date tab!

Downloading Pages.app from the app store on an older version of OS X

Hi All,
Couple of days ago, my internal hard drive became corrupt. I upgraded to a 500gb SSD and managed to re-install through wifi the setup files for OS X Lion 10.7.5 (the version I had on the previous hard drive).
Everything's running smoothly, however when I've tried to re-install some of my purchases from the app store, specifically Pages, Numbers, Keynote, it tells me I need to update to Mavericks 10.10 or later in order to redownload and use them. But I really don't want to upgrade to mavericks. I had already upgraded from snow leopard to Lion a few years ago, and it completely ruined the processing power (I then proceeded to upgrade from 2gb to 8gb RAM). How can I get around this? Is there an option to download a previous version of these apps somewhere?
Cheers

yes, although the pages states Mountain Lion, it might work: Install the latest compatible version of an app on an earlier version of iOS or OS X - Apple Support

HT4623 Many Apps on the App Store now require iOS 7 so us using iPod touch 4G with iOS 6.1.5 now can't download certain apps.so the question is that will the Apple team update devices using 6.1.5 to iOS 7????

When will Apple update ipod 4th gen from ios 6.1.5 to ios 7

No.
As Apple said in June, iOS 7 is not compatible with the 4G iPod.
All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory (RAM). The 4G iPod only has 256 MB
If you have iOS 4.2.1 or later on the iPod and there was version compatible with that version, then you should be able to get a compatible version by:
App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

Why doesn't the App Store prompt for older versions on first download?

I thought Apple user interfaces were supposed to be slick. Here's what I have to do to install an app. I've inherited a first generation iPad from a friend. The iPad was fully erased and set back to factory defaults before I got it. I have created my Apple ID and started customising the machine to suit me. The machine is running the very latest version of IOS it is capable of supporting 5.1.1. So I gaily visit the app store and start trying to install a few apps I like. Of course today 90% of the apps in the store are designed for IOS 6 or later and simply refuse to install at all. So here is the rather less than slick workaround I have to do.
First I have to put the iPad away and go to my Windows 8.1 Desktop computer running iTunes. I log in using my Apple ID, visit the App Store, pick the apps I want and download a few that I'd like to my computer. I then switch back to using the iPad. Now I see the apps I've downloaded to the computer attempting to install themselves on the iPad. If I've downloaded more than one app. This fails for all the apps. I have to wait for all the apps to fail, then delete them from the iPad and then visit the App Store on the iPad and navigate to Purchased Apps section. Now I can see my apps waiting and can attempt to install them one at a time. If I do this then, each app attempts to install singly, fails, and then I am gracefully asked if I'd like to download an older version of the app. If I do that the download and install works - hooray! I then repeat this process for the remaining apps. Next time I need to install any apps I have to repeat the whole process. It's not what I'd call slick.
Why on earth doesn't the App Store simply prompt for an older version of the app when I first want to install it?
Why do I have to do the rigmarole of switching to my PC, downloading there, and then switching back to the iPad again just to force the "Would you like to download an older version of the App" prompt to appear?
I'm not impressed so far.

No one here can speak for Apple since we are all just users like you. Perhaps the answer is as simple as this. This feature just rolled out recently. Perhaps Apple thought it was important enough to make it available before they had built out the whole solution.
Just a thought.

Why do I have to go to app store to open new version of Numbers on my computer?

Why can I only open the new version of numbers through the app store?

Hi Arnie.carol,
If I am understanding you correctly, it sounds like you may be trying to open the new version of Numbers, which is installed on your computer, but when you attempt to open it you only see the old version opening. If this is the case, it can be explained by the information in the following article about updating iWork:
About the new iWork for Mac: Features and compatibility - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT6049
In the meanwhile, you can continue to use these features by accessing the previous versions of the iWork applications which remain installed on your Mac. The previous versions can be found in Applications > iWork ’09.
You can double check this by utilizing a right-click on the Numbers icon in your dock, and choosing “Show in Finder,” which should take you to the application:
OS X Mavericks: Shortcuts for the Dock
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13718
See an item in the Finder
Command (⌘)-click the item’s icon, or Control-click the icon, then choose Options > Show in Finder.
From there, you can check the version number to see if it matches the updated version number in the App Store. Next, if you wish to always open the new version of Numbers by clicking on the icon in the Dock, open the application from the App Store as you have been doing, then right-click on the active Numbers application (the one that will have a light below it), and choose to add the application to the Dock by choosing “Keep in Dock”:
Add an open app to the Dock
Control-click the app’s icon, then choose Options > Keep in Dock.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,
Braden

Where is App store genius in iOS 8?

I switched from an iPod 2G with iOS 4.2.1 to a 5G with iOS 8. I can't find the genius function in the App store any more. Was it removed?

Why is it showing up as an option in settings under Photos & Camera?

App Store vs. Retail version of iWorks?

May be a daft question, but is there a material difference between the Numbers '09 / Pages '09 / Keynote '09 that I can download from the App Store for a total of NZ$75 versus the boxed retail set for which I'd have to pay NZ$183? If it's just a question of additional templates, fonts, printed documentation and a more liberal licence with the boxed retail set, I'd rather save over NZ$100 and go for the App Store versions.

Good luck Andy
