In what will hopefully help with a quantity of the application instabilities, Apple is forcing all apps submitted to the iOS App Store after February 1st, 2014 to be optimized for iOS 7. That includes any updates to the applications, as well as entirely new submissions.
No matter the way you slice it, iOS 7 has been a controversial choice on the part of Apple. Radical redesigns, new levels of tool instability, and even faster uptake on the part of iOS users around the globe have all kept Apple's latest application release in the news, recently.
Apple's request will mean developers must build their apps using the newer Xcode five - which means that they will all have 64-bit support baked in. In addition to increasing tool and app stability, the new guidelines will likely lead to apps that visually mesh with the new operating system; current application versions immediately look dated when walking on the new systems.
"Starting February one, new apps and app updates submitted to the App Store must be built with the latest version of Xcode five and must be optimized for iOS 7. Learn more about preparing your apps by reviewing the iOS Human Interface Guidelines."
