Notes and Known Issues
The following issues relate to using iOS SDK 8.3 to develop code.
App Extensions
Notes
- App extensions need an arm64 slice to run on 64-bit devices. If you try to run the armv7 slice on a 64-bit device it won't work.
- Apps need to have an arm64 slice if the bundle contains a framework that both the app and the app extension link against.
C
Known issue
Outgoing Call Audio and FaceTime Audio may be choppy.
Spotlight
Known issue
3rd Party keyboards may not be available for selection in Spotlight Search.
Workaround: Reboot the device.
UIKit
Footnotes
When linking against iOS 8.3, any code that relies on layout information (such as the frame) of a
UIButton
subview when the button is not in the window hierarchy will need to sendlayoutIfNeeded
to the button before retrieving layout information (such asbutton.titleLabel.frame
) to ensure that the layout values are up to date.For example, if you had something like this:
UIButton *button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeSystem]; // code that sets up the button, but doesn't add it to a window yet CGRect titleFrame = button.titleLabel.frame; // code that relies on the correct value for titleFrameYou now need:
WatchKit
Known issue
Creating an animated image using the
UIImage
methodanimatedImageWithImages:duration:
and then playing the animation usingstartAnimating
ignores the duration and plays back as fast as possible.Workaround: Use
startAnimatingWithImagesInRange:duration:repeatCount:
instead.
