Test using 5.1 Retina Simulator

[Graham Samuel]

Tom, you understand this so much better than me - could you explain whether and what upgrades on the Apple side I can do and still work with the current version of LC (5.0.2). Presumably you've seen the email from Apple "Update your apps for iOS 5.1". Can we? I understand your point about the Simulator (just), but I don't know really understand your 'app bundle' point and what prevents LC being compatible with the new xCode.

Really the mother ship should explain all this, but I'm not holding my breath, so I would be grateful for any clarification, and I suspect I will not be the only one.

TIA

Graham
