This is iOS8 API backport to iOS7.
- backport useful features from iOS8 to iOS7 to simplify transition for developers without using any private API.
- backport should behave 100% same way on iOS7 as on iOS8 from developers and users perspective. For example it is ok to add implementation of
-[CLLocationManager requestWhenInUseAuthorization]that does nothing on iOS7. - on iOS8 back ported API shouldn't have any effect on system - default iOS implementation should be used.
Not all users will update to iOS8 and developer life is hard enaugh :)
