Message that appeared in the iOS 10 betas
During the time that iOS 10 was in beta, when we ran an application that had not been updated to 64-bit on a device with an A7 processor or later we would see a warning message. This message did not arrive when iOS 10 was officially released, neither in iOS 10.0.1 (the first official version) nor in iOS 10.0.2. If what we see in the beta of iOS 10.1 is what we will see when this version is official, said notice will return in the version that brings as the main novelty the "Bokeh" effect on the iPhone 7 Plus.
The iOS 10 beta notice stated that «This application has not been updated to 64-bit. Their use can affect the overall performance of the system.«, But the truth is that we are going to notice little or nothing this performance problem. There are few of us who think that this notice has more to do with a pressure path for developers to update their app.
The warning message is more direct in iOS 10.1
Starting with iOS 10.1, when the message is expected to reappear, the prompt will say “The developer of this app needs to update it to improve its compatibility«. If we take into account that since February 1, 2015 Apple does not accept applications that are not compatible with 64-bits, when using an application that displays the above message we will be using an application that has not been updated for a long time, which may mean that it is a bit forgotten by the developer.
Apple has already started remove problematic apps from the App Store, so any application that shows us this message can disappear from the iOS application store at any time, as long as it presents a compatibility problem. The good thing about the message is that developers can take it for granted and update their app, something that I hope someone I have in mind will do. Are you using an app that could show you this message on iOS 10.1?
