Is it safe to update iOS test device to latest dot release of iOS?

137 Views Asked by At

In general, I'd like to know if it's safe to apply dot releases of iOS to my test devices (i.e. it won't break my ability to build to the device.) In this particular case my iPod Touch is running iOS 8.4 and I'm wondering if I can update to 8.4.1. I have Xcode 6.4 with iOS SDK 8.4, which is the latest stable release at this time of writing. In the past, when I've updated iOS by a major version number this has forced me to update Xcode to get the latest iOS SDK, and I was wondering if this is also a concern with minor versions.

Apple wouldn't release an iOS update that you couldn't develop for with the latest version of Xcode. To be safe, check for Xcode updates to make sure you're on the latest version before updating your device. :)
