title: Use an iPad 1 for development and debugging in the latest Xcode (4.5), how?
body: <p>I still have an iPad 1.  I use the latest version of XCode for app development which will only debug apps on devices that run iOS 6. </p>
  
  <p>Unfortunately, iTunes will not allow you to upgrade an iPad 1 past iOS 5.  Can XCode be configured to debug apps on iOS versions older than version 6?</p>
  
  <p>Another approach would be to upgrade the device to iOS 6 via jailbreaking. I have read that jailbreaking an iPad 1 will give you a path to upgrade it to iOS 6, but I haven't found anything specific to development.</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT</strong>
  It turns out that this problem only occurs when I create a new app using XCode.  However if I open sample code from some existing apps (for example <a href="http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#samplecode/SpeakHere/Introduction/Intro.html" rel="nofollow">SpeakHere</a>), my iPad 1 suddenly appears on the XCode "run list" and I <strong>can</strong> test on the iPad 1!  I suspect that there is something about these apps that is "old" that causes them to work.  Can I simulate that somehow on new apps I build using XCode?</p>
