If we change graphics in our apps how will they look in older iOS versions? Should we install Xcode 4 together with Xcode 5 and compare the app versions? Can we have different graphics for apps in iOS 7 and different for older iOS ? I'm planning to release my first app till 31st July. Should I wait? Or the transition will be easy enough to do?

As of right now, you can send in apps for iOS 6 (Until [my estimate] August 21st). When iOS 7 comes out, you can send in an update and your users will get the latest version. I recommend downloading the beta and testing your apps.

That said, I also believe 'if it isn't broke, don't fix it'. At least until after July 31st. Cheers! -- Smug Comments I believe it should be pretty easy.
