Use framework that requires iOS 9 in app with deployment target iOS 8?

Question

For Android there's a tool called overrideLibrary that allows you to use libraries that require a higher target than your project. Is there a way to do the same for iOS?

Answer 1

In iOS, the same behavior can be achieved by using #available ,

if #available(iOS 9, *) {
    // use iOS 9 APIs
} else {
    // use less than iOS 9 APIs
}
