Hi,
It's so great that you guys now have the Release export for iOs.

Regarding hybrid mobile apps, when exporting to iOs runs, what version of iOs does it export the app for? Looking at the iOs release history, I see different versions will work on different generations of the iPod Touch and iPhone.

Does your export go with the most recent iOs version and if I wanted the app to work on, for example, a second generation iPod touch, I would have to generate/build that app manually via xcode?

When you export you iOS sources you are getting a PhoneGap app. We are currently using PhoneGap 1.5 (planning 1.6 upgrade soon). You will be able to run the app on every Apple device that PhoneGap 1.5 supports. I couldn't find an exact list but this should help: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PhoneGap

Ok, thanks. That list doesn't show the different iOs versions (2, 3.1, 4.2, etc) and it doesn't mention iPod Touch, so I'll dig around and see if I can find more. This list is helpful, though.

I emailed the PhoneGap/Cardova team. PhoneGap 1.5 supports iOS 4 and higher.

Hmm, so that leaves out the original iPhone and the iPod Touch 1st Generation.

iPHONE/iPOD TOUCH/iPAD iOS VERSIONS:
3.1.3 7E18 iPhone (original); iPod Touch (1st generation)
4.2.1 8C148 iPhone 3G; iPod Touch (2nd generation)
5.1 9B176 9B179 (iPhone 4S), iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 GSM/CDMA, iPhone 4S; iPod Touch (3rd and 4th generation); iPad, iPad 2, iPad (3rd generation)

I wonder if an app built with PhoneGap 1.5 will run on iOs 3.1.3 but just not be able to use features of iOs 4 and higher? In other words, could we build a simple mobile app with Tiggzi / PhoneGap 1.5 that doesn't include iOs 4+ features, and be able to install and run the app on an iOS 3.13 device?

If not, then is it possible to build a Tiggzi app with an older version of PhoneGap that supported iOS 3.1.3? This way we could build multiple versions of the same app, so all iPhone and iPod Touch users can use the app?

You can always export the app sources, and then replace the PhoneGap version to any other version.
