I have a customer with an iPhone 5c running iOS 9.2.1 where my released app crashes as soon as she installs and runs it.

The crash doesn't occur on my iPhone 5 or 5s running 9.2.1.

I have an iPhone 5c running iOS 7.x which is my designated iOS 7 test device.

The crash doesn't occur on iOS 7.x on the iPhone 5c.

Naturally, the simple solution is to update the 5c to 9.2.1. but then I lose my only iOS 7 test device.

I thought about trying the simulator, but I'm running Xcode 7.2 and the debugger doesn't have any options for a 5c simulator.

If only Apple would allow developers to revert devices back to earlier versions of iOS.

Before I sacrifice my only iOS 7 test device, does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,

Gary

Use the iPhone 5 / 7.1 option instead. If you ignore the case, iPhone 5c is pretty much identical to iPhone 5.
