Answer 1

The base SDK should be the currently available one - it's the version of the SDK that you have installed to compile against.

However, further down the settings list you'll see that you can set the "Deployment Target" to be for lower versions iOS. That's the one that specifies the lower version of the OS that you app will run on.

Answer 2

Latest SDK included all required features from previous SDK versions. You shouldn't worry about it. If you want to support previous versions of iOS just set iOS Deployment Target to iOS 4.2 (or another would you like) in project settings at Build Settings tab.
