I've recently upgraded to xCode 4.0.1 in order to use the latest iOS SDK (4.3). I'm currently doing development for iOS 3.X devices, but looking to expand into iOS 4.X in the near future.
The problem is, I can't seem to successfully run anything on my current 3.X devices. As I understand it, the 4.3 SDK supports compiling to all versions of iOS 3.0 and subsequent, and certainly I can compile such apps just fine. But if I try to run it in the simulator or on a device, it begins to load and then just crashes.
For now I'm simply trying to get the default window-based application running without any modifications. I've selected 4.3 as the base SDK, and set my deployment target to 3.0. I can select every version of iOS from 3.0 up as my build target, but only using 4.3 seems to actually work at all.
When I run the app on my phone, I get the following in the logs:

A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.
I'm guessing that somewhere along the line, the app's not being set up correctly to link to the 3.X version API, hence the "unable to read symbol" stuff appearing in the logs. I just can't seem to figure out how to rectify the situation.
Any suggestions gratefully appreciated!
There is no "linking of the 3.x APIs", there is just the SDK you build with. The SDK is backwards compatible so as to run properly on 3.x devices.
Double check that you have the correct settings at both the xcodeproj level and the target level. If all of these things are correct, then it should work just fine on a 3.1 device.
If that's not working, then here are some shots in the dark that may help:
If none of this works you might have a broken installation of Xcode 4.
Hope this helps :)
