Let's say we have an application with a deployment target set to 3.0 and we want to raise the deployment target to 3.2. Normally, the App Store won't let the App be installed on devices with an IOS version less then this, but what about devices which already had the App installed prior to the update? Will they see the update but won't be able to install, will they just not see the update or, heavens forbid, will be able to install and the app just won't start?
I searched everywhere for this, but I can't find anything about raising the minimum OS version for an app update.
Thanks!

Do I need to change the Minimum Deployment Target because of the latest news in the Apple Developer News. Currently, the Minimum Deployment Target of my apps is iOS 10.
Select pods from the drop-down menu. Build settings may be found by selecting each project and target and clicking on them. Change the iOS Deployment Target version from 8.0 to anything higher than 8.0 in the Deployment subsection (better to try the same project version).
The minimum iOS version is the lowest iOS version supported by your app. Users running an older iOS version will not download newer updates of your app from the app store. The minimum iOS version can be set in the build settings under iOS Deployment Target. The same counts for macOS, tvOS, and watchOS.
The minimum deployment target Xcode 12 supports is iOS 9. The Deployment Info section also lists a number of checkboxes.
From my experience those updates just won't show up as available.
When I upgraded OS on my device from 3.1 to 4.1 about 10 available updates appeared immediately in App store app - so that should be the actual behavior.
