iOS 7 Developer Update - February 1, 2014 Deadline

[Sardaukar]

the worst thing is, that there's no contact with Epic...

This happened before with the UDID Removal last year. I'm not sure what's going on. Its taking Epic quite some time with this IOS7 update. I mean, they did say they had a few pesky bugs left, but that was over a week ago...

Its entirely possible that the update's done. I mean how long does it take to code an entirely new Database and Library? Or at least update it?

What I find to be total **** is Apple's new rules. There was no reason for the update on their side that I could see. If they wanted to enforce the new rules, why not do it the moment when IOS7 was released. Why make these new rules a half a year later? Yeah, its their operating system and company, but still.

There's a problem with both this delay and Apple. I'm in indecision about continuing development with my second game, or stopping for now and build up a portfolio to get myself a job in the industry, then come back later if the update ever comes out.

that's not the point, "the builder" have the reason, i dont see any excuse for not having a version with IOS 7, we are developing our game ago 9 months and when is ready, i see this. This is unjustifiable.

[KillSheep]

agree!

Maybe we should use Unity3D instead of UDK.
And we can develop android app as well.

To be honest, iOS 7 was out a half year ago. Even though though iOS 7 support wasn't required by apple before this month, users have for a long time been unable to configure basic stuff like system settings for the four new devices that are out, and they had to deal with unnecessary bugs (not being able to debug with console command is a really unnecessary slowdown).

I know that most of your team is working on Unreal Engine 4, but if you are only able to release one version of UDK a year, then at least try to plan the release to match up with new iOS / device releases. I can't really see any excuse for not having a version with iOS 7 support 19 days after it become an requirement, and 6 month after it was possible. Even though it is your engine and you can do what you want, I find it really disrespecting and unnecessary to put your faithful users in situations like this. For us who spent years developing a game, it is very unsettling to know that such situations, which are our of our own control, might happen.

I'm sorry to post about this here, but this bug really need to be noticed and is related to upcoming iOS7 UDK build.

TCPLink does a huge freeze (lag ~5s) on a BindPort function call, in iOS7. In previous iOS builds everything was fine (tested on iPhone 4S, iPad 3, iPad Mini with Retina Display). Seems like on iOS 6 everything worked in asynchronous way, in a separated threads, but on iOS 7 it's freezes all the game for about 5 seconds!!

Our game is built on top of this ability connect to remote server, and all our developed logics are binded to this feature, so this issue is fatal for us! Please-please take a look on that.

AW YISSSSS this is just great!! And Happy New Year to Zak and the rest of you awesome Epic peeps!

Okay, thanks for the update.

So I just want to make sure on something, is UDK July 2013 good for uploading now?

No, it will be rejected during Application Loader ipa evaluation with an error message stating applications are no longer being accepted with this version of the SDK.

Is this next update really needed? I haven't tried to upload my game yet because of this update, so should I wait longer, or do you guys think uploading now is okay?

[Arturogalaxy]

7 February, I can't upload my game, hurry up, Epic, please, some make our living with this. And Thank you for your work.

Take your time. It would be great to wait a little longer, but have no struggles with bugs in the future Thank you a lot for your work!
