Known Issues

Apple Breaking Changes

  • rdar://41123682 Apple changed TVElementUpdateType* enum values. Please test your application if you're usinf this type.
  • rdar://43425168 Apple changed IN*WorkoutIntentResponseCode enum values. Please test your application if you're usinf this type.

Apple Non-Breaking Issues

  • rdar://41135211 RPBroadcastPickerView symbol is not present in simulator. If needed you'll need to test this on devices.

32bits limitations

  • Disabling the managed linker for device builds can generate object files that are too big for the 32bits native linker ld to process properly. The workaround is to enable the managed linker (e.g. Link SDK) on your projects.

Using an older Xcode version

Using an older Xcode version (than the one mentioned in the above requirements) is often possible, but some features may not be available. Also, some limitations might require workarounds, e.g.:

  • The static registrar requires Xcode headers files to build applications, leading to MT0091 or MT4109 errors if API are missing. In most cases enabling the managed linker will help (by removing the API).
