My info.plist lists MinimumOSVersion 5.1.1 and UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities armv7 (requiring iOS 6 I think) but I could have sworn I saw something mention a minimum OS version of iOS 7 either when I uploaded my ipa or submitted my app.
Is there somewhere on Itunes Connect that I can verify my app's minimum OS version and/or see a list of devices that my app can be installed on?
I'm trying to figure out if it will be sold to users with the iPod Touch 4 (which maxes at iOS 6.1.6).
The dev decides minimum level of iOS support via target/build settings/deployment/iOS deployment target in Xcode.
If that's too difficult (should not be...), and that app is in the store, find it and check what it says there next to the app description.
Note: Other than hints via Analytics, iTunes Connect does not specifically detail that info per app.
Google is your friend to find out which devices are able to run which version(s) iOS.
Remember, tho - anyone can buy your app via iTunes on their computer, regardless if their device supports it...
I don't use Xcode, but I know how to set the min iOS level. Mine is set to 5.1.1. I think I was wrong about armv7 affecting the min OS. I'm still not sure where I thought I saw that minimum OS version now... it wasn't when uploading via Application Loader, anyway.
I use these two charts to determine device compatibility:

My app is unreleased. If it was released, I could visit iTunes on a Touch 4 and see if they'll let me buy it. If the Touch 4 could run TestFlight I'd also be able to tell that way. You're right that anyone can buy an app via iTunes on their computer, but I don't think they can give it a 1-star review unless it actually installs on their device.
armv7 minimum iOS is 3.1
See Table 1-1
I think what you saw when uploading was the admonition note "Apps and app updates submitted to the App Store must be built with Xcode 5.1.1 or later, and iOS 7 SDK." That means you need to support iOS 7 capable devices (not minimum iOS 7)...screens, etc. Base SDK is 8.x and deployment can be 6.1, as an example...iOS 5 users are in single digits now, so I'd not put too much effort into that level to make it work.
But if you're sure you set deployment to iOS 5.1.1, and it makes it into the store, then by default any iPod Touch 4 users at 5.1.1 or higher should be able to install. And pls. move to Xcode 😉
