How do I require an ipad to support Armv7s (iPad 4) and above?

Hey there,

I've been attempting to make my app require that the ipad's running my app only support armv7s and more recent devices (we've been doing significant testing internally and our game does not run well on anything older than an iPad 4 unfortunately). Every time I try to upload my app to itunes connect I receive the following error: ERROR ITMS-90098: "This bundle is invalid. The key UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities contains value 'armv7s' which is incompatible with the MinimumOSVersion value of '8.0'."


Does iOS 8 not support the armv7s processor or am I doing something else wrong? If this is simply not possible, how else would I go about supporting only iPad 4 and later?

This statement appears in the documentation:

Important: The store rejects a build that supports only

armv7s
. If
armv7s
is included in the Valid Architectures list,
armv7
must also be included.

By this does this mean that you cannot require that the hardware have armv7s and above in the UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities? If this is the case, how do we go about only supporting iPad 4 and more recent iPads?
