Starting July 2018, All iOS App Updates Must be Built With iOS 11 SDK and Support iPhone X Super Retina Display

Apple today informed iOS developers that starting in July this year, any submitted app updates must be compatible with the iOS 11 SDK, and must also support the iPhone X Super Retina screen. Adding support for the iPhone’s Super Retina screen will become even more important this fall because Apple will soon release three new iPhones that support this screen. A 6.1-inch LCD model, two models are 5.8-inch and 6.5-inch OLED models. Apple reminds on the developer website:

“iOS 11 delivers innovative features and the redesigned App Store to hundreds of millions of customers around the world. Your apps can deliver more intelligent, unified, and immersive experiences with Core ML, ARKit, new camera APIs, new SiriKit domains, Apple Music integration, drag and drop for iPad, and more. Starting July 2018, all iOS app updates submitted to the App Store must be built with the iOS 11 SDK and must support the Super Retina display of iPhone X.”
