iOS Question Apple requirements by June 30, 2020 - What do they mean for B4i developers?

[Andris]

I just received an email from Apple saying that apps must meet the following by June 30, 2020:

Apps for iPhone or iPad must be built with the iOS 13 SDK or later and use an Xcode storyboard to provide the app’s launch screen.

For those of us who haven't yet published an iPhone app, what does "Xcode storyboard" mean, and do our B4i apps satisfy what they're talking about? And what do we need to do to ensure iOS SDK?

If you are using B4i v6.50+ then you don't need to do anything to meet these requirements.

The hosted builders run Xcode 11 (iOS 13 SDK) and launch images were replaced with a storyboard file.

Hi,
I also received this message from Apple and I am asking myself the same questions
I have B4i v5.51 and I use a Mac as local builder (OSX Mojave 10.14.6 and Xcode 11.2)

Do I have to upgrade B4i to v6.5?

is it good for IOS 13 SDK with my Xcode 11.2?

Thank you

what does this mean for projects that were started years ago?

I have a bunch of single color images in various resolutions (thos default* files)

Will they be ignored during compilation and do I need to place another file?
