ipad - IOS 8 APIs and IOS 6 deployment target -


with drastic change in ios 7 onwards of apps prefer ios6 looks , same app uses 3rd party lib. have copied platform old ios latest ios , works great till when 3rd party library using in app using text-font (uifonttextstylecaption1) supported ios7 onward in there lib. when use recent release in app getting linking error deployment target ios6.1. app works great if change deployment target latest ios8.1.1.

is there way can link library or make visible have both both platform within latest xcode.

is possible... can not change deployment target , need 3rd part library well...

i don't know why think of users preffer ios 6 official apple statistics states 4% of users still on ios 6 and below.

enter image description here

with said advice drop ios 6 support has numerous problems, except of missing apis.

to directly answer question - it's hard support 3rd party libraries. meant used as-is instead of modifiyng. if had source code can try refactor newer api calls use old(and deprecated) methods. of libraries(and preffered way library) binaries without source code. binary build newer deployment target , in way shot using older version of library or(even worse) making reverse engineering , building library on own.

update

i've checked 1 of our apps database(over 5000 unique users) support ios 6, , percent 4.5% matches apple site.
