I have existing iPad app supporting iOS 5 and 6. Can anybody help me to list down item that I need to take care while supporting iOS 7?

One thing I noticed that in existing code ((UITableView*)self.superview) in UITableViewCell doesn't work. superview of UITableViewCell is UITableViewWrapperView that need to be fixed in existing code.

  • Read Apple's iOS 7 transition guide and test every single bit of your app. – rmaddy Nov 12 '13 at 05:55
  • i had some problem with navigation bar. – stosha Nov 12 '13 at 06:00
  • Thanks for responses. As rmaddy said Apple has summarized the about UI related points that need to be focused. https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/TransitionGuide/index.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40013174 My concern here is the points that can be easily not observed(Non UI). as Ganapathy said there are issues in threads and fixed by using dispatch_queue(GCD with delay). – tumbudu Nov 12 '13 at 06:33
  • To solve that UITableViewCell superview, You can customise the cell and keep a property that holds the superview of the cell and set the superview while creating the table view in TableView data source method – Nagaraj Nov 12 '13 at 06:36
  • Thanks @Nagaraj, but my concern here is to identify the points that need to taken care while supporting iOS7. we will find out solutions to the issues anyway.. ;) – tumbudu Nov 12 '13 at 06:39

The things are: 1. Navigation bar height and view style are different 2. Status bar is transparent in iOS 7 as in iOS 6 it was opaque. 3. Small thing is about the tint color. By default it is light blue in iOS 7. 4. Button borders have been removed.

Issue's i have faced while running the app in IOS 7.

  1. Status bar issue (view controller get overlaps 20 pixel.)

    FixForStatusBarIssue

  2. Customize alert view won't work in IOS7. (We can't customize the alert view in IOS 7.)

    My Fix -> You need to customize the view exactly like u want because you can't customize alert view in IOS7.

  3. Issues related to threads.

    My Fix -> Use dispatch_queue(GCD with delay) in case of UI not responding (Presenting a view controller from background thread.)

  4. Zbar sdk memory leaks while presenting and dismissing the SDK (more than 5 times app getting slow.)

    FixForZbarMemoryLeakIssue

this are the issues i have faced. fixes i have suggested working fine for me. You just use it if you need hope it will work.

Apple's iOS 7 UI Transition guide

Read descriptions of every single element you used in your app.

And be aware of the style and position of the bars (navigation bar/tab bar/tool bar...).

iOS 7 has changed a lot in view hierarchies, you can use Reveal to make things easier.
