iOS 11 support for Dave’s Tiles

Saturday, January 20 2018

As many of you know, last September’s release of iOS 11 requires apps to be compiled to 64-bits in order to run. This requirement has unfortunately impacted Dave’s Tiles, which was last updated in late 2012 for the iPhone 5 and iOS 6.

I’ve received many comments from users who have humbled me with how much Dave’s Tiles has impacted them, and I would love to update the app I spent 4 years working on.

Unfortunately this is not as simple as “recompiling” in the latest Xcode, since there have been many changes to Apple’s tools in the last 5 years. I am trying to find time work on it, but work for other clients consumes all of my free time. While this may not be soon enough for many of you, I’m hoping I can find time late Spring or Summer.

Please keep sending your feedback. Dave’s Tiles means a lot to me, and I’m glad to see that it has meant a lot to others.

Best wishes, David
