    Unity will have 64bit export before then but this is just a note since many people have been wondering if App updates will also need to be 64bit in February

    Beginning June 1, 2015 app updates will also need to include 64-bit support and be built with the iOS 8 SDK.

    (Off-topic but related)

    My App update just got rejected.
    The reason: 3.6: Apps with App icons, screenshots, and previews that do not adhere to the 4+ age rating will be rejected.
    Seriously? They sent me descriptions at to why it was rejected saying that my icon includes a gun and the screenshots include a gun. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
    There are tons of apps with guns on their icons and screenshots.

    This probably because i have a video preview. Because i just spent a good time browsing the AppStore and i realized that Apps with guns in icons/screenshots do not have a video preview.

    So my guess is that Apple doesn't not want App video previews to include guns/violence.

    I've never personally published to iOS, but when you create your product and try to publish it, do you have the option to select the age group? I'm wondering if maybe you selected 4+ somewhere (if that's even an option) which is why it was rejected.

    I couldn't find it but I know when you create the app it asks you if there's alcohol, blood etc... depending on wht you choose the age rating changes, so Dustin is right - you might have said there's no violence etc and got assigned a 4+ rating. Not sure where to change this after the app is created. Maybe you have to create a new version of the app? (ie version 1.1)

    I actually had Apple call me! (Has this happened to anyone?)

    They said they're cracking down heavier on apps with guns in their icons and screenshots. The guy said that my App was one of the first apps.

    Anyway, i had to redo all my screenshots and re-post, got Accepted!

    Yep, they called me once because I had something in my description they didn't want.

    Lucky you. ;)
