XCode 5 and iOS 7

What I have found out so far, It looks like iOS 7 doesn't respond to tints anymore, so your nav bar is defaulted to normal which is white, this is noted in depreciations so will have to dig around. It does not like Danny's audio streamer, the original creator crashes out every time it goes to start the music, the weirder thing is it crashes the device to teh point a hard reset is required and just before it dies it starts playing the song obviously over a black and unresponsive screen. It alos doesn't like custom navbar items with a tint, so if you have a default screen with a navbar button it will show and also switch to it's new ios7 design ie note book info button etc. but if it's a tint boom it will crash the app on the view did appear method. Tabbar is also lacking tints. But xcode is better at telling you what the faults are and you can follow the process step by step where the code goes. It is also easier to select test devices and it compiles a hell of a lot faster. The good news is though there are two warnings at all from the core code (but tints will need to be fixed) related to the style of a uisegment controller the options used to be beveled etc now they are all flat so that line just needs removing. But the most annoying thing as I mentioned above is that when it crashes the phone needs to be hard rester, all testing has been done on an iphone 4 and 4s, I'm so glad I didn't put this on my 5, it's got some bugs

p.s. due to the core graphics and better memory management the buzz carousel looks sharper and better than ever, small miracles

Good news mixed with bad news, especially as I use the Stream Audio Plugin, means I will need a solution unless Danny updates his plugin. The thought of changing a hundred odd screens scares me, what a boring job that will be. Kittsy, what's the plan?

Plan? lol My Sound tapes works, the navbar has gone to the old natural blue, the audio streamer works, although it doesn't stop the music when leaving the app and when you go back it's hit and miss to stop it. The favourites still works and the carousel, future proof me ha ha Checked out a few other apps it's mainly the nav bars that are messed up. I think it is going to be issues when compiling but we've got plenty of time before the release

Is it just me, or is the nav bar now the opposite: black letters with light background vs. the older white letters on dark background? Jake

Kittsy, Would you mind testing out my app. My main concern is that is based off of the audio streaming plugin and has thousands of users. I can send you a free code to install. Please advise.

No it's free unless you wanna mess with the code I wouldn't bother until the next beta. You are not allowed to submit to the appstore using a beta Xcode

@Kittsy via the techcrunch analysis of the transition guide: http://techcrunch.com/2013/06/10/apple-publishes-ios-7-transition-guide-to-help-developers-adopt-flat-design/ "Make sure your app doesn’t respond inappropriately to the new Control Center gesture or to a navigation contoller’s swipe to go back gesture, especially if you perform custom touch handling." Do you think this going to affect the swipe gestures used for the carousel or even Scringo? Ryan

Tint of Nav Bar: iOS 7: We can use barTintColor to tint the color of the bar, instead of tintColor to tint the color of the buttons. iOS 6: We use tintColor for both buttons and bar tinting. From iOS Dev Center Jake

Great @Jake .. that shouldn't be too bad. although tinting seems to be a thing of a the past with the new flat look to be honest.

Hi, Kittsy! Thank you for all of your work on this. Have you tried iOS7 with the PDF reader or custom URL screens? Someone reported to me that the PDF reader wasn't working in iOS7.
