But the long answer is perhaps not.

System upgrades very often *do* break your code. They are not *supposed* to, but that's irrelevant. Often, the problem is your own fault - that is, the system upgrade has exposed a problem with your code that was somehow not exposed under the earlier system. But sometimes the system just changes behavior in a totally incompatible way (like when iOS 3.2 summarily reversed the meaning of the shadow-drawing components from what they had meant in iOS 3.1.x).

So it's nice to dream, but the reality is that you must test under the new system to find out whether your app still works as expected. m.
