Description

I just tested the 1.5.0 code, it definitely crashes during runtime for an iOS 3 device right now because of some iOS 4 code, namely registering for pause/resume lifecycle events that we didn't guard for, for devices < iOS 4.

The fix is to guard the affected code using this:

NSString* systemVersion = [[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion];
BOOL isiOS4 = ([systemVersion compare:@"4.0" options:NSNumericSearch] != NSOrderedAscending);
if (isiOS4) {
   // do your iOS 4 thing!
}

But I'm wondering if this is worth it since we are moving away from iOS 3. See CB-93
