Apple Reminds Developers of New 64-bit App Requirements for iOS and macOS

Posted June 29, 2017 at 2:42am by iClarified
Apple posted a reminder to developers today regarding its new 64-bit app requirements for iOS and macOS.

New iOS apps and updates submitted to the App Store must now support 64-bit. Support for 32-bit apps is not available in iOS 11 and all 32-bit apps previously installed on a user’s device will not launch.

If you haven’t updated your app on the App Store to support 64-bit, we recommend submitting an update so your users can continue to run your apps on iOS 11, which will be in the hands of hundreds of millions of customers this fall.


At WWDC, Apple announced new apps submitted to the Mac App Store must support 64-bit starting January 2018, and Mac app updates and existing apps must support 64-bit starting June 2018.

If you distribute your apps outside the Mac App Store, we highly recommend distributing 64-bit binaries to make sure your users can continue to run your apps on future versions of macOS. macOS High Sierra will be the last macOS release to support 32-bit apps without compromise.

Please follow iClarified on Twitter, Facebook, or RSS for updates.
