FAQ

Does Opera Mediaworks iOS 3.3.0 SDK support bitcode? How can I disable bitcode in my application settings?
The iOS 9 SDK offers App Thinning, which includes compiling bitcode. The App Store and operating system optimize the installation of iOS and watchOS apps by tailoring app delivery to the capabilities of the user’s particular device, with minimal footprint.

As of iOS 3.3.0, we support bitcode. However, some third-party SDKs do not support bitcode. So bundles with these SDKs must have bitcode disabled. To disable bitcode, set EnableBitcode in build settings to No.

Does ATS (App Transport Security) affect my app on iOS 8 devices?
There is no impact of ATS on iOS 8 devices. HTTP URLs will not be blocked on older iOS versions.
