iOS 7 went GM

[Shazron <sh...@gmail.com>]

download the GM Xcode from the iOS Dev Center. I suppose we can finalize
iOS 7 support/testing.

In any case, this method below has worked for supporting older SDKs in a
newer IDE even before Xcode 5:
http://blog.spacemanlabs.com/2013/09/how-to-support-old-ios-sdks-in-xcode-5/

... which might give a compile-time check that you are using iOS 7 APIs
dynamically by compiling with the actual iOS 6 SDK

Re: iOS 7 went GM

[Shazron <sh...@gmail.com>]

Enterprises can already do so with Xcode 5 since our deployment target is
iOS 5.0 (like usual). We just have to be careful (like when we upgraded to
iOS 6.0 support) to conditionally use any iOS 7 APIs... which since we are
not really using any (except for some UIWebView new properties that we
would have to support, which will be properly guarded against, which we
have done before for iOS 6 -> 5)

Re: iOS 7 went GM

[purplecabbage <pu...@gmail.com>]

As Shaz said, soon they will not. After iOS7 is out. 

There is still however a reason to support older Xcode version because enterprises can distribute their own apps.

Can anyone confirm that Apple does not take new apps unless compiled with
Xcode 5? We submitted 2 updates yesterday using Xcode 4.6.3, no problems so
far..

Okay, well that is a bit annoying, but the fact that they won't take apps
unless built with 5 is pretty darn compelling :P.

Re: iOS 7 went GM

[Shazron <sh...@gmail.com>]

Xcode 5 does require at least Mountain Lion (10.8) while Xcode 4.6.3 you
could still use Lion (10.7)

"Xcode 5 GM seed requires OS X Mountain Lion or later."

Sounds good! No reason not to insist on this. It's a free download and
doesn't change the system requirements (at least they don't mention that it
does)

Re: iOS 7 went GM

[Shazron <sh...@gmail.com>]

Also, Apple just sent out the email "Submit your iOS 7 apps today" using
Xcode 5 GM.

So I say once iOS 7 goes GA (Sept 20?) we say Cordova only supports Xcode 5
going forward (since that will be the requirement for submitting to the App
Store)
