I have set a deployment target of 14.3.
yet in the App Store my App gets installed on 14.0 devices and crashes.

why can’t I set a minimum deployment target upon release of the app that is the same as my deployment target?

Have you checked the setting in both:

Project > iOS deployment target
Targets > Deployment info

May be one is set at 14.3 but the other 14.0

Thanks!
I have these settings:

Project iOS Deployment Target = 14.4
Target App Deployment Info = 14.0
Target Widget Deployment Info = 14.4

Does the Target App Deployment Info take precedence over the iOS Deployment Target?

I think the Target Deployment Version should be >= iOS Deployment Target Version and not the other way around.
Maybe a bug in Xcode?

Thanks for feed back.

Not sure it is a bug, but this is very subtle and not described (or at least could not find the doc).

Could file a bug against documentation at least.

Thanks. Where to file such a bug? The feedback App no one ever replies there.
