Is there a way to build an App with CS5.5 that can run in older iPods

Hello

Does anybody know if there is a way to build an app with flash CS5.5 that can run in older iPods?, just like with CS5?

Each IPA I build with CS5.5 cannot be installed in my iPod 8GB with iOS 4.2 and before with CS5 I could install all the IPAs there and test.

The lack of support to iPod 8GB would be limitating for the market and sales...

Is there some setting to build IPA to older iPods?

Thanks

The easy solution to your need is to keep a copy of CS5 installed, and use that for supporting older devices. A harder solution is to keep a copy of the PFI from CS5, and use the command line to compile apps made with CS5.5. You won't be able to do any of the new features of CS5.5, and you'll also have to manually edit the descriptor XML to make sure it's compatible with PFI.

Like I said, keeping CS5 around would be the easier solution.

AIR 2.7 release notes:

AIR runs on "iPodTouch 4th generation iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4iPad".

But:

AIR 2.7 runs on iPod Touch 3rd Generation, too - but only on the 32GB and 64GB models. The 8GB model is in fact only an older 2nd gen iPod Touch.

We tested this and we even have some apps in the app store running on the iPod Touch 3rd gen.
