I think, Apple's general approach is:"We can break it." Documented or not.

Seems like they change stuff all the time. Especially on iOS.

Can you provide examples of non deprecated API that Apple broke?

[interpol_p]

The recent Swift 1.2 release brought a whole load of code breaking changes. None of Swift 1.0 was explicitly deprecated.

That's a bit different, they explicitly said Swift is a work in progress and code compatibility is not guaranteed between versions...

[Zikes]

After 1.0 API changes really should increment the major version.

Unless you say "We're probably going to break things." when you announce it, which they did.

[cozzyd]

Perhaps they should have chosen a more appropriate version number then.

I agree. I think there was never a major iOS release that didn't break things in my app. Really basic stuff like a text input for example.
