AGSRuntimeSDKiOSv10.2 + SDK do not work if deployment target is ios6.

Question

iPad app.

i downloaded recent SDK AGSRuntimeSDKiOSv10.2.4 and notice that it not building on my app since my deployment target is ios6.

i then check almost all version of AGS SDK from AGSRuntimeSDKiOSv10.2 and above , from version 2.2 we can not used AGS SDK if deployment target is IOS6...

(Above SDK not building as it uses API from ios 7 onwards so it fails if deployment target is IOS6)

AGSRuntimeSDKiOSv10.1.1 crash on ios6 as deployment target , work well on latest ios8.

what need to be done......

you should not be able to build App with v10.2.4 & deployment target as IOS6. since Esri uses APIs from IOS 7 and it clearly mention it supports IOS7 (or higher version).

as i get linking error as those APIs from latest IOS not available in IOS6. it is available from IOS 7. i tried that also to make visible kind of back compatibility but not possible.

Please let me know how u can build v10.2.4 with IOS6 as deployment target.

Hi,

Thank you for reply.

my XCode ver:   6.1.1, IOS - 8.1.1

but my deployment target is IOS 6.

i can only use AGS-IOS 10.1.1 since my deployment target is IOS6, build fail with link error with AGS-IOS 10.2 (any version from 10.2 +) since Esri uses IOS 7 Apis. so i have to stick to ver 10.1.1/10.1.1-u2.

with above setting and if server side GIS version is 10.04 (i tested) GIS on iPad App works great on IOS 6/IOS8 as deployment target.

but if server side GIS ver 10.22(client having) on IOS 6 as deployment target it crash with below message:

libc++abi.dylib: terminating with uncaught exception of type Esri_runtimecore::Geometry::Geometry_exception: std::exception

I literally tried all stuff to catch error but all in vain.

if i change my deployment target to IOS 8 it works fine.

What version of XCode, and what version of Apple's iOS SDK are you using to build your app? what error do you get when it fails?

I am able to build & deploy many of the runtime sdk samples on iOS 6 using v10.2.4 of the Runtime SDK, XCode 5.1, and Apple's iOS SDK 7.1
