iPad4/iOS 10 support
in General chat
Just putting it out there... as all my posts from the old forum are gone.
I, for one, would be delighted to see NS2 on iPad4/iOS 10 one day.

Thats what I came here to get confirmed! So now I'm updating my iPad Air.
Bye bye NS1 and bye bye Alchemy
@Jeppan74 I had to do that, too. Bit the bullet last weekend.
I was annoyed about dropping iOS 10 as I'd optimized all the 32 bit code so it meant throwing away a load of hard work too. However, I just couldn't get the damned app store to work in it no matter what I did. It was jeopardizing launch so I had to cut it.
Looking at it through a longer lens now, it's probably a better strategy to leave iOS 10 behind and reduce the complications with having to work on both 32/64 bit.
Those who use 32-bit can continue on with NS1. Those with 64-bit can continue on with NS2. So there is the solution there. Not the greatest solution, but better than our 32-bit mates being left with nothing. So many great productions were crafted in NS1 afterall.
I get the 32/64bit diffs, I really do. Just been waiting so long for NS2 I'm finding it very difficult to let go.
How about releasing it without the app store functionality as a one of? If that's the cost, happy to bite the bullet. Also happy not to have any updates, just a one off release. Arghhhh I'm going mental seeing all the screenshots/vids....
I don’t know anything about your finances but how about buying an iPad Air. They are very cheap on eBay and this way you can keep alchemy on your 4.
I have to agree with the idea that if you want to hold onto NS1 & other 32 bit apps, leave your iPad 4 on iOS 10. That’s what I did with myiPad Air. Then get another device for NS2.
Thanks for the tips all but the reasons behind my attempt to lobby for the 32bit version of NS2 are somewhat more complex.
Guess this is a brick wall and I'll have to wait for NS2 for a year or so and by then Apple may have a new standard in place, quantum architecture perhaps . I'll make a call what to purchase then.
