Option to set deployment target about liftoff

Is there a specific reason that you would want to configure the deployment target for anything other than the newest release? This is already mimicking Xcode's behavior.

I think you might misstake this for "Base SDK"?

If I want to support devices with iOS6 (which I almost always want to do) I need to change the Deployment Target to 6.0.

To be perfectly honest, I don't see this as a global default for project creation. This is a decision that should be made on a project by project basis. If you decide to support an old version of iOS, that should be a decision that is made for a specific reason, and therefore shouldn't be made at the time of project creation.

Additionally, I'm curious as to why you feel like you would want to default to creating a new project targeting 6.0. Given that 7.x is well above 80% adoption according to every analytics service that I know of, what are you gaining by building in additional legacy support from the beginning?

Most of our clients require us to support iOS6. 20% of the users are to much to neglect. When iOS7 reaches about 90% I can probably skip iOS6 support. Still I agree with you that I can set this on per project bases even though my default for a new project at the moment will be 6.
