I'm running iOS 10.3.whatever and it will be the last iOS my current phone will have on it. As far as I've seen/heard there haven't been any major issues with apps breaking on 10.3. i think it's a good place to stop for a legacy device. iOS 11 will have to wait until I get a new phone.
Just saw front page story. I've tried a few apps I know aren't 64-bit supported and they do not show up in the search results in the App Store. Now I don't need to install apps on device to check for support. http://toucharcade.com/2017/06/04/32-bit-apps-no-longer-appear-in-app-store-search/
10.0.3 will be my last update for my iPad Air,don't want to lose Lunar and Tactics,more people should follow suit and refuse the update.This will kill mobile gaming forever.Will hope more games won't be added to the list(in my case hope Planescape,KOTOR,Jade Empire,FF1,FFV,FFVI,Banner Saga1/2,Sorcery IV,Dust:AET,Bastion are safe)Shudder...
Check the apps update or version history in the AppStore. If it was released or update in July of 2015 it is 64-bit compatible.
Checked yesterday only Lunar and FFTactics are affected,all other have been updated after june 2015,even the old ff ports that are 64 bit now.Seem that for me I will still have plenty of games to play,can still get ffTactics on the ps store or the PSP version and Lunar on PSP...or just emulate them.
Still no updates for FFTactics and Lunar..starting to think Square Enix and who ever publish Lunar forgot about those games,can someone send a mail to those companies?
Did Apple ever directly publicly say they are killing 32bit apps? Was anything ever said with a press release or on stage during a show?
IMHO iOS 11 is actually good for the gaming scene. Yep, a lot of good games like FFT and XCOM won't work anymore (at least until the devs would actually bother to update em), but for the newer hopefully better games in the future it's a good thing. We all need to eventually move forward, even though it hurts (FFT I hardly knew you)
I would love to see CrApple remove these games set to no longer work from the App Store or at least there should be a warning " this game will no longer work with future IOS Updates bah blah blah" so stupid asses like me will quit wasting money on them -_- I have bought quite a few recently and I know I won't ever get a refund it really burns me up
