Apple to Require All New iOS Apps to be 64-Bit Starting February 1st

Apple has announced that it will require all new apps to support 64-bit and iOS 8 starting February 1st.

Starting February 1, 2015, new iOS apps uploaded to the App Store must include 64-bit support and be built with the iOS 8 SDK, included in Xcode 6 or later. To enable 64-bit in your project, we recommend using the default Xcode build setting of “Standard architectures” to build a single binary with both 32-bit and 64-bit code.

More details can be found in the iOS Developer Center.
