The short answer is yes, your application built against the iOS 4.2 SDK should work on iOS 6. It can't use iOS 6 features (I simplify), but it should work no less well.

However, you may have relied on behavior that the API didn't promise, and that the newer OS changed. Apple goes to surprising lengths to make sure that doesn't happen, but it's possible. Or the later OS may have a bug that your code triggers. So you are not excused from testing your app on an iOS 6 device.

Is there some reason you can't build against the iOS 4.3 SDK?
