Obsolete

Over time some native API will be obsoleted by Apple on newer versions of their operating systems.

While such API are still available and safe to use you should know that better alternatives exists and that the API might eventually be deprecated (removed) in the future.

Bindings for obsolete API continue to exists inside the Xamarin SDK as removing them would:

  • make them unavailable when targeting older versions of the operating systems
  • be, both source and binary, breaking changes for existing projects

When known, the obsolete message will suggest an alternative/newer API that should be used to make your code future proof.
