I don’t understand. Current apps will run just fine, won’t they? Also beta versions of iOS and XCode have been around for months - so it’s not like you’re starting from scratch today. And it’s not like you absolutely must release tomorrow, do you?
- izacus 6y agoThere's absolutely no guarantee current apps will run fine - Apple regularly adds new restrictions and API changes which break existing apps. They also tend to add a lot of new bugs every release which need to be worked around.
- josefrichter 6y agoHas Apple ever added a major breaking change one day before release of new iOS version?
- esperent 6y agoWhy does one day matter? Even if it was a month it's unlikely every single app developer could get a fix in time.
- josefrichter 6y ago> Why does one day matter? That's what the original article is trying to suggest. > it's unlikely every single app developer could get a fix in time Are you suggesting to freeze iOS development?
- saagarjha 6y agoI know people who have had the GM break their apps and are scrambling right now.
- izacus 6y agoYes, it certanly did for us. Not a feature breaking change, but they did add app breaking bugs with last GM version that had to be fixed in a hurry. iOS 14 is also full of new quirks.
- jug 6y agoThe problem as I understand it is that Xcode for GM was just (?) released and then you have the approval process. So they run a real risk of not having an app iOS 14 compatible at launch. It doesn’t matter if they’ve had the whole beta to test their app on and get ready if Xcode for GM was just released.
