I have an iOS app ready for submitting at App Store.
I have tested and found that it does not work on iOS 12.9.
It makes sense since Xcode 16 only supports iOS 17 & 18

I unzipped the .ipa file and looked in the file Info.plist.
Here it says that the minimum iOS is 12.2:

<key>MinimumOSVersion</key>
<string>12.2</string>

I know you can edit this value in Xcode and would like to change the minimum version like this:

Xcode → Targets → General → Deployment Info → iOS Deployment Target = 17.0 (or 16, 15...)

But I don't think it's possible in Pubcoder?

TO PUBCODER: Would it be possible for you to add a field in the iOS export panel to set the Minimum iOS Version?

I'm surprised to see this:
I unzipped an .IPA I created in January 2024 from Pubcoder version 5.0.3.
In the Info.plist it says:

<key>MinimumOSVersion</key>
<string>13.7</string>

I wonder why the MinimumOSVersion is higher than in the latest Pubcoder 5.0.9 where it is 12.2.

What I would like is to avoid that users download my app only to find out it won't run after installing.

minimum iOS version in Xcode highlights a common challenge in app maintenance and deployment. Setting the correct deployment target is crucial for balancing access to the latest APIs with support for older devices. However, modifying these settings can often lead to build errors or feature incompatibilities that require expert troubleshooting.
