iOS
is a mobile operating system developed and distributed by Apple Inc. It was
originally released in 2007 for the iPhone, iPod Touch, and Apple TV. iOS is
derived from OS X, with which it shares the Darwin foundation. iOS is Apple's
mobile version of the OS X operating system used in Apple computers.

mobile operating system developed by Apple Inc. Its first release was in 2007,
which included iPhone and iPod Touch. iPad (1st Generation) was released in
April 2010 and iPad Mini was released in November 2012.
The iOS devices get evolved quite frequently and
from experience, we find that at least one version of iPhone and iPad is
launched every year. Now, we have iphone5 launched which has its predecessors
starting from iPhone, iPhone 3gs, iPhone 4, iPhone 4s. Similarly, iPad has
evolved from iPad (1st Generation) to iPad (4th Generation) and an additional
iPad Mini version.
The iOS SDK has evolved from 1.0 to 6.0. iOS
6.0, the latest SDK is the only officially supported version in Xcode 4.5 and
higher. We have a rich Apple documentation and we can find which methods and
libraries can be used based on our deployment target. In the current version of
Xcode, we’ll be able to choose between deployment targets of iOS 4.3, 5.0 and
6.0.
