    I guess from the standard Unity apps-point of view there shouldn't be too many differences. However it depends on what Apple introduces with the new iOS. I haven't had a look at the beta yet, but in the past there have been some changes to XCode which needed to be reflected by Unity as well. Once a new version of Unity was out it worked though.

    However Apple may also refresh it's guidelines in terms of e.g. icon design and such. Hard to tell right now, but it's worth to keep an eye on the new iOS version to be able to react to changes in time, not only when iOS 7 is out.

    no, and that rule applies to every software.. something might come up

    in this specific case, xcode 5 developer preview is very crashy

    unity has had a history of not working with recently released versions of xcode, using beta software is playing with fire.. it may or may not work

    i would say just wait for the final versions to come up

    if we speak about unity vs ios7 beta:
    4.2 will have some fixes for the really bad stuff (like fixed udid, and some)
    4.3 (or 4.2.X - whichever is closer to actual release) will have fixes for minor stuff (e.g. as i said on some other thread, status bar is currently always visible and do not change style).
    what i can say to reassure you more? ;-)
    well, i run *everything* on ios7+xcode5 - all your bug reports ;-) - works fine
    also - if nobody tries and update - how can we find the bugs in advance ;-)

    Decided to give this a try. Udated to XCode5, tried to build and got this:

    "UnityException: Launching iOS project via Xcode4 failed. Check editor log for details."

    Is there someplace I need to tell Unity to use XCode5?

    currently build&run do not work with xcode5 (they changed stuff *again*).
    Do "build", open xcode project manually and run from here

    We've been testing iOS 7.0 features with Unity 3.5.7 and it's been going pretty smoothly.

    iOS7 also added a bunch of new icon resolutions. Is there any way to update the player settings to support the new resolutions? We have projects in Unity 3.5.6 and 4.2, and I can't find a way to do it in either. Since there seems to be no end of potential resolutions, couldn't this be made more extendable?

    Unity exports an XCode project. Open the project in XCode and then General tab, you can set all the icons and splash images.

    Yeah, i realized that, was hoping for some streamlined workflow, maybe updating editor script, post processor script kind of thing. Manually updating XCode is a pain, especially when you need to occasionally do replace builds because of plugin changes...
