Hi,
I recently integrated vuforia into our application and so far have been very successful. We have demonstrated to some customers and there is a lot of interest. However, before I place my bet on vuforia as the AR technology for our app, can you tell me how actively you will be maintaining the ios Native SDK?
The reason for my concern is that there are numerous warnings/error printed to the console regarding deprecated API calls being used by the app. We want to make sure we can use your library and stay up to date with the latest xcode and not have any issues. Normally a few warnings wouldn't concern me, but I saw a similar post relating to these same errors posted back in March with a promise they would be addressed 'soon'. Again it's not a show-stopper now, but we are about to spend a lot of effort creating a very real & practical use of AR and I want to make sure that Vuforia will be there for me.
Here's what I'm seeing:

Timeframe for ios7 updates?
However, before I place my bet on vuforia as the AR technology for our app, can you tell me how actively you will be maintaining the ios Native SDK?
The Vuforia SDK is under constant development and it is backed up by an enormous degree of testing on a vast range of devices.
Timeframe for ios7 updates?
Great. Thanks for the reassurances. Overall I think Vuforia will add some great features to our app. I hope to post an update to our app with AR capability "soon" :)

You don't have to display any Vuforia logos in your app.
If you do, the guidelines are here:
