We have an app in the Apple App Store that we can't seem to get installed on a Verizon iPhone (from the App Store, not Xcode). This may have nothing to do with the fact that it's a Verizon device, but that is the main difference I see between it and the devices I can get to run it.
We are attempting to install the app using a promotional code, but we receive an error when hitting Redeem, as seen in this picture: (promo code blocked out)
ERROR: This code is for an app that is not compatible with this device. You can redeem it on your desktop computer or a compatible device.
The error device is an iPhone 4 (Verizon) running iOS 4.2.8. This error was received when the app was built for 3.x and the assumption was that Verizon devices would not accept apps not built with at least SDK 4.
However, the app was recently updated (yesterday) to use the 4.3 SDK. The app has its deployment target set to iOS 3.1 and has been successfully installed and tested on a device (iPhone 3G AT&T) running this version. This latest version has also been successfully retrieved and tested on an iPhone 4 (AT&T) running 4.3. We were under the impression that every version in-between (3.1 - 4.3) would then be compatible, perhaps this is not the case?
Unfortunately, the Verizon device is not available for Xcode deployment nor ad hoc distribution.
