href="https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=10202014a";>recently announced</a>
that new and updated apps submitted to the <strong>Apple App Store</strong>
must include <em>64-bit</em> support for them to be approved. This change will
be implemented by the <strong>Apple App Store</strong> starting
<strong>February 1, 2015</strong>.</p>
+
+<p>This means that starting at that time, Cordova-based apps should be built
using a version of <strong>Cordova</strong> that has <em>64-bit</em>
<strong>iOS</strong> support.</p>
+
+<p>The first version of <strong>Cordova</strong> to include <em>64-bit</em>
for <strong>iOS</strong> is <strong>3.4.1</strong>. Therefore, to meet these
requirements of the <strong>Apple App Store</strong>, you should be using at
least version <strong>3.4.1</strong> of <strong>Cordova</strong> before this
<em>February</em> deadline.</p>
+<!--more-->
+<p>The <em>64-bit</em> support for <strong>iOS</strong> is in the form of a
fat binary that contains <em>32-bit</em> and <em>64-bit</em> code. This form of
fat binary is only supported for <strong>iOS</strong> <strong>5.1.1</strong>
and <em>up</em>. So when creating <strong>iOS</strong> apps with
<em>64-bit</em> support, you will not be able to target them for
<strong>iOS</strong> versions <em>earlier than</em> <strong>5.1.1</strong>.</p>
+
+<p>If you are on a version of <strong>Cordova</strong> <em>older than</em>
<strong>3.4.1</strong> and building <strong>iOS</strong> apps, you are
encouraged to upgrade to a more recent version before
<strong>Apple</strong>âs <em>deadline</em>. For <em>upgrade
instructions</em>, please see the <em>Updating Cordova and Your Project</em>
section of the <a

64-bit capability to earlier versions of Cordova.</p>
+
+<p>Additionally, if your <strong>iOS</strong> project already exists and was
originally created before <strong>3.4.1</strong>, you will need to update the
<strong>Build Settings for Architectures</strong> and <strong>Valid
Architectures</strong> as described in <a
