Why Apple doesn't “force” the user to update by installing the needed API updates when the user downloads a new app? You don't have to implement support in your app for multiple iOS versions. You can just set the Deployment Target of your app to require only the current OS if you wish, and provide your apps to just those users who wish to have any newer APIs potentially up/downgrade their device. |

Why Apple doesn't “force” the user to update by installing the needed API updates when the user downloads a new app? It is unknown whether Apple implements new classes in a manner that is compatible with older OS versions or the older APIs and classes in that OS. Runtimes do change in incompatible ways. |

Read K&R before learning low latency C++? Depends on the compiler, the particular optimization settings for that compiler, and the target CPU implementation, as well as what you are comparing a global variable access against. |

Approach for developing software that will need to be ported to multiple mobile platforms in the future I've worked with an enterprise that needed both competitive performance and cross-platform portability. Their solution was also an engine in C, plus multiple platform-specific GUI skinnings, mobile, PC, and even custom hardware. |

How to duplicate an app name in Apple app-store? Some app names may have been "grandfathered" before the app store rule against name dups. You're too late. |

How to Release to the App Store as an Individual The copyright question is one for your lawyer (or perhaps your own reading of the law IF you trust that), and depends on who wrote the app, derivations, job or contractual obligations, and etc. Many independent developers seem to just use their own name, but that isn't legal advice (covering your potential liabilities, and etc.) |

Are there bots that download new iOS apps without being asked? Why was this app even made available outside the U.S.? Country availability is individually selectable for each country for each app in iTunes Connect. |
