PhoneGap 1.4.1 Does Not Support iOS 3.x.x Anymore?

I have discovered after half a day of testing and frustration that the latest version of PhoneGap does not support iOS 3 devices anymore. The minimum version appears to be iOS 4. The simulator works fine, but when I try to load the out of the box PhoneGap app on a device I get a crash in AppDelegate.m

CGRect viewBounds = [[UIScreen mainScreen] applicationFrame];



self.viewController = [[[MainViewController alloc] init] autorelease];// Crash on this line

self.viewController.useSplashScreen = YES;

The error is "Programme received signal: "EXC_BAD_ACCESS".

iOS 4 devices work fine!

The problem is easy to replicate - just setup a default PhoneGap 1.4.1 project and try to run it on an iOS 3 device.

I am not too concerned as I think about 93% of iPad users use iOS 4 or 5 now, but it is a shame for the other 7%...

Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution???

Cheers

Nick.
