I am implementing the do-not-backup attribute for my app for iOS 5.0.1 and above. And as Apple suggests, there is a different way to set the key for iOS 5.1 and above.
I can test it for iOS 5.1 and above (that nothing is crashing) with the simulators available but hoe to test for 5.0.1??
No,I don't think you can get 5.0.1 simulator. The best thing would be testing your app in a iOS 5.0.1 device.

I have Xcode 5.0.2 but somehow I don't have iOS 7.0.4 in the simulator.
I did not find any updates and it looks like everything is up to date.
Who do I get to debug a iPhone with iOS 7.0.4 in the simulator?
I guess this image would solve all your queries.
Image Source:- https://developer.apple.com/downloads/index.action (require login).In short, Xcode 5.0.2 comes with support of iOS 7.0.3(or below).Note:- In iOS, we have Simulator, not emulator. Emulator is for Android.
The simulator is not that granular when it comes to iOS versions as far as I've been able to tell. You shouldn't depend on it behaving properly anyhow, it is very different from devices in a lot of senses.
We are making an iOS iPad app, that needs to work on iPads 1, which means that it has to work on iOS 5.1.1 as this is the latest iOS version supported on them.
Does this mean that the target for this app needs to be 5.1.1?
Is there a way to install iOS 5.1.1 simulator into Xcode so far I have only been able to add 5.1.
Are there any 'tricks' that need to be done to get Xcode 4.5.2 to prepare iOS 5.1.1 apps?
Thanks in advance.
Yes, but it can be as low as you want it to be (target iOS 4.3 for all Xcode cares).
No, iOS 5.1.1 was not released as a new simulator (bug fix builds are rarely sent out to developers as new simulators).
Just link to the highest possible SDK and set the deployment target correctly, and you should be fine.
I have build the app using Xcode 4.2.1 and iOS 5.0 SDK target, now i am have iOS 5.1 in my iPad device, what i have to know is, if i upgrade my device to iOS 5.1.1, will my app work. I just googled it, but i can't find solution. Any help appreciated. Thanks.
Yes it will work, it will also work on any ios in the future (ios 6+ etc..)
Please check my answer here Will my app work with a new iOS?
If you're talking of deployment for testing, you need at least Xcode 4.3 (for Lion only) to be able to run your app on a device on iOS 5.1
I have tested my app build with Xcode 4.2.1 and 5.1 deployment target, now i can work the app in iOS 5.1.1 installed device.
Note :
Make sure your Xcode have iOS 5.1 SDK Frameworks support.
Is it possible to test an app using the old simulator 4.2 or 4.0?
I downloaded the simulator 4.3 and the "device debugging support iOS 4.9-4.1" from Xcode, clicking on "more simulators", but this only allows me to test on a real device mounting 4.0 or 4.1 that I don't have.
Older versions of the simulator are no longer supported. The Apple stance seems to be if you want to support iOS <4.3 then you need to test on a device, or run an older version of XCode on an older version of OS X.
When I create an app I want to test my app on old devices (i.e. iOS 3.0).
Can I set up the simulator with older versions of iOS to test my app?
You can change the hardware the iOS simulator simulates, but only if you have the old version of the SDK installed. You can do this by choosing the menu Hardware -> Version and then the 3.x version you want.
Please note this is not the recommended way! The simulator is nice for quickly testing some new features, but the simulator has bugs and other major differences. So test your App always on a iOS 3 device.
Get a first generation iPhone to test on or grab an iPhone 3G and downgrade it to iPhone OS 3. It's not supported by Apple, but Google will help you on downgrading an iPhone to OS 3.
You can change the version in the iOS Simulator.
