XCode Breaking Compatibility With Old iOS Devices

Using XCode 4.3.2, it was not possible to install an iOS app into a 2nd Generation iPod Touch running iOS 4.2.1. What's worse is that there are no error messages indicating the cause of the problem.

The reason is that backward compatibility had been deliberately broken. It had to be added back in by adding support for armv6 devices and removal of device capability requirements from the info.plist file.
