[OT]app store behavior for old platforms when upgrading an app to new cli 6

Hi;
looking at the new cli 6 I noticed some old platforms support was dropped.
I was wondering what the app store behavior would be for devices with old platforms that already have my app installed.
for example:
- ios 7 device with my app installed
- I upload a new version of the app with cli 6 that dropped support for ios7
now what happens to the ios 7 device:
- would the app be pushed to his device?
- would the app store 'understand' that it cannot be pushed?
- what can I expect will happen in such instance? (for android and ios)
thanks

If your app doesn't support iOS 7, users with iOS 7 won't be able to update, they will keep the old version. The app store is clever enough to not allow them to update.
