Uploading app to itunes from xcode 7.3.1 for iOS 10

Question

My current project app settings are xcode 7.3.1,I am using swift 2.2. My app supports iOS 8 and above. With the recent changes to security and privacy setting for iOS 10, I wanted to know if uploading my app from xcode 7.3.1 will cause any issue/rejection from apple with respect to iOS 10. Is it suggested that I migrate to swift 2.3 and upload the app through xcode 8?Really puzzled

Answer 1

First point: The app store / iTunes Connect doesn't know or care what language your app is written in.

Second point: If you build with Xcode 7.3.1, then you are not linked against iOS 10. Therefore nothing about iOS 10 applies to you. You are running as an iOS 9 (or lower) app, under iOS 9 rules, even on an iOS 10 device .

Conclusion: You're fine; nothing has changed merely because Xcode 8 and iOS 10 exist.

Caveat: But you should check by running on an iOS 10 device anyway!
