Thanks for your thorough response, Fritz.
 
What you did set was the deployment target, "the minimum version you're going to run on." The resulting binary will run on the OS you target. You can still use the features of a later SDK, but what's in the SDK-minus-target is "weak linked:" The symbols aren't required to exist for your app to load, you can test whether they are available, and you won't crash unless you actually use a symbol that's not available at run time.

Yep.  Now I'll have put tests in to check the OS version and post an update.

Regards,
Gavin
