# MinimumOSVersion

The minimum version of the operating system required for the app to run in iOS, iPadOS, tvOS, and watchOS.

## Discussion

The App Store uses this key to indicate the OS releases on which your app can run.

Don’t specify `MinimumOSVersion` in the `Info.plist` file for apps built in Xcode. It uses the value of the Deployment Target in the General settings pane.

For macOS, see [`LSMinimumSystemVersion`](/documentation/BundleResources/Information-Property-List/LSMinimumSystemVersion).
