You dont for awhile. It will keep doing what it does now.

32-bit, as is everything before the A8.

Don't worry about it

A7 is 64-bit as well.

Indeed, I stand corrected.

I hope this not true because i was thinking of sign up for iOS developer.

No. Apple are still selling devices based on the A5. It'll be supported for a while yet.

You got ripped off if you bought the iPad mini 1 last fall.

That was rude!

s'true. It's a horribly outdated device.

You can include both 32 and 64 support in the same binary:

Here's the note from Apple:

As a reminder, beginning February 1, 2015 new iOS apps submitted to the App Store must include 64-bit support and be built with the iOS 8 SDK. To enable 64-bit in your project, we recommend using the default Xcode build setting of “Standard architectures” to build a single binary with both 32-bit and 64-bit code.

I don't think they're going to go 64 only for a couple more years. There's too many devices out there without the support.

That wasn't the original question though, and you came in here with an opinion and nothing else.

Dude wants a 64-bit iPad and an iPad mini 1 is not it.

I just was worry that they would go to just 64bit.Then if this true i don't have anything to worry about.

Dude didn't read the thread properly before posting a load of twaddle.

You can still develop code, I believe there may be a compile option for you to select 64 or 32bit. I haven't looked at the SDK in a while, so I can't state this for sure but take a look.
