The arrival of the "32-bit version of application mass extinction era" that is concerned by the upcoming iOS


ByKickize

From the next iOS iOS 11, which is supposed to be released within 2017, it is certain that it will not be able to run applications created in the traditional 32-bit environment. As a result, the age of 32-bit applications that have been ongoing since the introduction of iOS applications came to an end and apps, which are regarded as masterpieces of many, are in danger of disappearing.

Apple released iPhone 5s which adopted the first 64-bit architecture processor in September 2013. After that, it was indispensable to support the 64-bit version by default for the application to be provided on the App Store after February 2015. From these measures, it was assured that Apple shows a stance to shift to a full 64-bit environment step by step.

And that attitude is clearer. In the latest beta version of iOS 10 provided for developers, when launching a 32-bit architecture application, "This app will not work with future versions of iOS, We need to update to improve the compatibility of the application "message is said to be displayed.


By the way, if you start a 32-bit application on a terminal of iOS 10.2.1, the operation of iPhone may be delayed due to "(application name)" There is a need to update the compatibility of the app by the developer Is displayed.


That means that from iOS 11 it is highly possible that correspondence to 32-bit applications will be terminated.

Well then, it is wonderful how many applications are left untouched in the 32-bit version, but it is very difficult to effectively draw statistics on it. The point that comes to the point is that it will be "the timing when the transition to the 64-bit version begins to be urged." IPhone 5s supporting 64-bit architecture appeared in September 2013, Apple in February 2015 specifically began to force developers to shift to 64-bit. That means that it can be thought that applications that were developed while being developed during this time will not be migrated to the 64-bit version.

Analytics companiesReport by Sensor TowerAs of September 2016, out of approximately 2.1 million applications in the active state published on the App Store, approximately 1.8 million applications corresponding to approximately 51% were found not to be updated for more than 1 year - less than 2 years doing. The result that it counts as much as 95% of the whole by counting all the applications which have not been updated for more than one year has been found out. In addition, after 47 thousand apps have been deleted from the App Store since then.

Although many applications are in danger of extinction like this, there is a big barrier to solving the situation. In order to continue providing the application, it is necessary to fix it to 64 bit version unless Apple develops policy. However, the fact that these applications have not been updated for more than a year is nothing less than an application vendor has spent resources on other applications. Furthermore, being an old application can not anticipate profitability as much as it used to, it is a factor that will spur an adverse effect. In other words, for developers, it is preferred to devote resources to development of the latest version of 64-bit applications that can generate revenue over allocating resources to 32-bit applications that are not known whether cost can be recovered or not It is a situation that it is a situation that it is.
