I have inherited an app that is built against the iOS6 SDK. There are numerous UI bugs when building against the iOS7 or 8 SDKs.

I understand that as of Feb 1, 2014 Apple is no longer accepting submissions for apps that are built against iOS6.

My question is, does this rule include updates or is the rule just for brand new apps?

I will probably update the app to the latest SDK, but still currently weighing up my options.

    An update is a submission. It must follow those same rules. iOS 7 support, retina support, iPhone 5 support. Soon (a few months) it will require iPhone 6/6+ support. – rmaddy Oct 25 '14 at 04:26

The announcement text was:

Starting February 1, new apps and app updates submitted to the App Store must be built with the latest version of Xcode 5 and must be optimized for iOS 7. Learn more about preparing your apps by reviewing the iOS Human Interface Guidelines.

So unfortunately you'll have to update the app in order to submit any changes.
