Although your app will work with Bluemix without any further updates, there are some ways that the iOS 9 update might affect the functionality of your app. Review the following information if you haven’t already:
-
Transport security: Because of the new app transport security feature in iOS 9, you might see new permission and security behaviors. You can find more information regarding these changes and possible configurations for app transport security in iOS: App transport security technote.
Facebook authentication: If you are using Facebook authentication in your app, review the information and instructions for iOS 9 on the Facebook developers site.
Swift 2.0: Our samples were updated to use the latest updates in Swift syntax. For more information about Swift 2.0, see the Swift website.

Inclusive terminology note: The Mobile First Platform team is making changes to support the IBM® initiative to replace racially biased and other discriminatory language in our code and content with more inclusive language. While IBM values the use of inclusive language, terms that are outside of IBM's direct influence are sometimes required for the sake of maintaining user understanding. As other industry leaders join IBM in embracing the use of inclusive language, IBM will continue to update the documentation to reflect those changes.
