Does iOS 7 Support Apps for Older Versions of iOS?

Does iOS 7 support apps for older versions of iOS? This is my first big iOS upgrade so I wanted to be sure about this.

Which is why I said "should" rather than "will". As there are no absolutes, I'm pretty sure there will be an app somewhere that will not run or have issues until its updated to the new iOS.
With that said for the most part there "should" be no issues updating to a new iOS version related to having older unupdated apps, but its still possible that there can be.

  • TS4079 my i phone software does not support app

    my iphone 3g software does not support ani app not  download ani app

    Latest version of iOS that will run on an iPhone 3g is iOS 4.2.1 per
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOS_version_history
    If the app you are interested in needs a later version of iOS, you
    will have to purchase a newer iPhone. Decision as to what versions
    of iOS are supported are made by the developer of the app and not
    by Apple.
    To find apps for older versions of iOS (quote from someone else's
    post but unfortunately I lost their user name - apologies to them)
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.

  • The version of iOS on does not match any of the versions of iOS supported for development with this installation of the iOS SDK

    Getting this error message as of this morning: The version of iOS on “iPad” does not match any of the versions of iOS supported for development with this installation of the iOS SDK. Please restore the device to a version of the OS listed below, or update to the latest version of the iOS SDK. I've downloaded the latest SDK and gone through the usual turn off and turn on again for iPad and computer, removed and reinstalled the iPad from Organizer and have no idea how to make apps build now. I was prompted to update the iphone too but there's no way I'm updating it if this issue can't be resolved.

    Okay these are the steps I took to solve the problem - they may not be the right ones for you but they've solved the problem and saved time hunting for some other solution. Firstly I changed my MAC system to Lion with the £20 download, then I deleted the old Xcode and installed the new version that is app based and doesn't support Snow Leopard, then all was well. I can now update my xcode via the app which is quicker and more logical and can update my iPhone rather than chug along avoiding updates as I need to update my existing apps on the app store and upload a new one.

  • App Store will not Install compatible apps for older iOS versions.

    Note to Apple, fix the App store so we can install a compatible version of an app for older iOS versions.
    My iPad 1 maxed out at iOS 5.1.1. If I want to install a new app with this device ( one I have not ever installed), and the latest app says iOS 7 and above, ithe app store won't let me install an older compatible version, even if older versions used to be previously available . 
    I think Apple is trying to convince me to buy a Galaxy Tab for my next tablet.  They are basically telling me to throw away my old iPad because it is no longer compatible with the newest iOS version 7 on the app store. You want that new app? If the latest version is only ios7 compatible, you're outta luck sukka.
    <Edited by Host>

    We are fellow users here on these forums, you are not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple. Whether an older version of an app is available depends upon the developer.

    You appear to have an iPhone 5. Snipsnap 2.4.2, the current version, says it works on iPhone 5, iOS 5.0 or later. Why do you want an out of date version of the app?

  • Why does Silverlight install process state that my 64-bit Win Vista OS does NOT support the 64-bit version of Silverlight?

    As of Monday 4/20, I've encountered a significant problem with Silverlight on my Vista PC. 
    Several weeks ago I read a brief item stating that Google would be dropping support for npapi and that it would affect Silverlight sometime in April.  One of my key daily apps uses Silverlight, but I didn't receive notification from that software's author
    about the pending change and how it would be handled.  Successfully used the app every week (Mon-Fri) this month for 8-10 hrs/dy day (as I've been doing for the past ~5+ years: past year under Chrome, year before that under FireFox, ~3 prior years
    under IE) and on Fri 4/17 shut it down for the weekend.  When I booted up on Mon morning and tried to log into the key app however, it prompted me to download and install Silverlight, acting as though I never had it installed!  
    I recalled the earlier warning about Google dropping support, so I closed Chrome, started up FireFox, but got the same prompt from the app -- it directed me to install Silverlight.  I downloaded it (had no choice as to which version, just got the "Silverlight_x64.exe"
    file) and got part-way through the install when this error msg popped up:  "Unable to Install Silverlight.  Your operating system does not support the 64-bit version of Silverlight".  WHAT?!   Clicking on the "more info"
    link led to this msg:  "Message ID: 1518.  Your operating system does not support the 64-bit version of Silverlight.  Click here for the latest version of Silverlight."  That link simply led back to the download page which resulted
    in receiving another copy of the same executable file.
    According to my system ( > Control Panel > System ), I'm running "Windows Vista Home Premium", with a "System Type:  64-bit Operating System".  I've been using this same Vista PC since Sep 2008 and running Silverlight for
    around the past 5 yrs.
    ? -- Why doe the Silverlight installer code flag my OS as not supported?   
    ? -- Is there a way to get an older version of Silverlight that will run under Vista?  
    Thanks in advance for any helpful comments.

    Andy -- Thanks for the link, but I'm not adventurous enough to download from a non-MSFT site.  
    Besides, since I didn't make any changes to my hardware/software config, I expect a MSFT rep to explain why their two programs suddenly stopped working together and then provide whatever code fix is needed.  A phone call to their tech support (predictably)
    led to nowhere but a recommendation to purchase one of the company's support offerings (which I declined to pursue).  The Silverlight development team appears to participate in these forums, so I'd hope one or more of them offers a realistic solution.
    Here's something I forgot to mention in my original post:  In several of the threads on this subject (some dating back to 2008!), people have
    suggested running IE as the browser vs FireFox or Chrome; however, that idea fails to note that the error msg (Message ID:1518) clearly states that "your operating
    system does not support the 64-bit version of Silverlight"; it doesn't say anything about
    what browser you're using.  

  • Portal logon app is older version than the standard logon app

    HI guys,
    My trace files are full of below error:
    This constructor should not be used by portal component. Probably the issue is that the portal logon app is
    older version than the standard logon app.
    How to resolve this..
    Regards,
    Urbane

    Dear Urbane,
    Hope you are doing good.
    Hope the link mentioned earlier helps. If the issue persists, do the below:
    1)
    Set the parameters back to the state they were after installation. This will synchronise the configurations with the default SAP
    settings and restart the cluster. Check sap note; 1589548.
    2)
    If the logs are still populated with the portal logon app error, then do a force deployment of the latest patch for EPBC2 component as this patch should resolve the issue.
    Thank you and have a nice day :).
    Kind Regards,
    Hemanth

  • I have a G5 and iBook with PowerPC/iTunes 10....just recently I can't bring up the preset Internet radio on either one. Is this a glitch, or have they been permanently disabled for older versions of iTunes?

    I have a G5 and iBook with PowerPC/iTunes 10....just recently I can't bring up the preset Internet radio on either one. Is this a glitch, or have they been permanently disabled for older versions of iTunes?

    I should have posted this for you a while ago. My apologies for not doing it sooner. This was passed on to me by another user R C-R
    He deserves the credit for this workaround. This is his post from an area in the forum where you have to be level 6 or higher in which to participate.
    I am getting the same (global) error using iTunes 10.3.1 on a 2008 MacBook running 10.6.8.
    A really, really awkward workaround that works for me (for now) is if you have the URL of the Internet radio server you can go to Advanced > Open Stream... (in iTunes 10.x) or type command + U, enter it there & click OK. The station should play fine in 10.x.
    You can get the URL from any version of iTunes that still supports the "radio tuning service" (which I gather is an Apple server thing Apple is no longer supporting for 10.x). Play the station normally from the newer version & type command + I to open the info window. At the bottom of the "Summary" tab you will see the URL. (Annoyingly, you can't copy the text so you will have to write it down.)
    Once you have that, you can play the station in 10.x & add it to a playlist for future use.
    To check this out, maybe try http://198.27.80.37/stream/mbarsott.pls -- it is a European Jazz station that works fine for me with iTunes 10.3.1.
    This workaround does work, but is a bit cumbersome. I'm still holding out hope that it is just a glitch.

  • I keep getting this error message "Your operating system does not support the 64-bit version of Silverlight" even though I have a 64 bit system?

    Netflix requires Microsoft Silverlight plug in to view their videos. Every time I try to load it I get the following error message...Your operating system does not support the 64-bit version of Silverlight. I have a 64bit system with Windows Vista Home Premium. Firefox 33.0 is installed.
    Any suggestions?

    Your User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.0; '''WOW64'''; rv:33.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/33.0
    As said Firefox for Windows from mozilla.org is a 32-bit application. The WOW64 in UA means it is a 32-bit application on 64-bit Windows.
    Before you ask if there will be a Win64 version of Firefox. If all goes well the first phase of having Win64 for Release may be as early as Firefox 37.0

  • Documentation for older versions

    Hello there everyone, I have a question relating to
    Coldfusion 4.0 and it would be helpful if I could scan the cfdocs
    for it. I can see links for CF5 and CFMX at livedocs.macromedia.com
    but cannot see anything for older versions.
    Does anyone know any other sites that might have this sort of
    info, is there an archive of old cfdocs anywhere?
    Thank you for any help.
    Barry

    I don't think Adobe has them anywhere on their site, but you
    can probably find them on someone's server, since they used to
    install at /cfdocs/ try this:
    http://www.google.com/search?q=inurl%3Acfdocs+%22coldfusion+4%22
    inurl:cfdocs
    "coldfusion 4"

  • Compatibilty Chart for older versions?

    Hi just wondering if anyone knows where to locate compatibilty charts for older versions of WebCenter interaction. Primarily I'd like to know if Plumtree 6.0 SP1 is compatible with Windows Server 2003 SP2?
    Thanks.
    Edited by: user9526276 on 26-Jul-2009 17:45

    Thanks for the response Ryan. I wonder if this is because it was never officially tested with SP2 since it came out way after that release. Does anyone have experience with this? I might try it on our UAT system and keep my fingers crossed.

  • HT204266 Does iPad support apps other than from app store

    Does iPad support apps other than from app store?

    For private apps, you can get a developer license which allows you to install apps you or your company develop.

  • Looking for a good antivirus/antimalware app for iPhone 5 with iOS 8.1.2

    As the subject implies, I'm Looking for a good antivirus/antimalware app for iPhone 5 with iOS 8.1.2.  Don't care if it costs $$ just want something that works.  I've been searching around and installed a couple things but they don't seem to be what I was expecting.  Thought I'd find out what others are using.

    Sadly, spoofing doesn't really require much hacking, All a spammer would need to use your email address for spoofing would be your email address. If it's also being sent to your contacts, your email account may well have been hacked. But that would have happened on the server level. Your phone wouldn't have been involved. Unfortunately, once the miscreants have your contact list, changing your password will not get that back. Changing the  password to something strong may help prevent future misuse.
    Best of luck.
