    I currently have a build on my iPad. Will it stop running if I update it?

    BTW, does the NDA prohibit discussion of topics like this on non-Apple forums?

    Two thoughts:
    1 - This should be discussed on Apple's devforums.
    2 - Anything you find there is subject to change during the process of the beta.

    Basically, as long as your app doesn't rely on APIs that have extensively changed in iOS 7 you should be fine.

    Personally all my iOS 6 built apps work fine in 7 but when moving from 5 to 6 the changes to Mapkit broke some of the functionality in a few of them.

    I'm sure when XCode 5 is released, you will find out. Just set the target to iOS 6.1, or whatever iOS you're targetting,
    and run it on iPad 7.0 simulator.

    If you need to run it on a real device, it looks like iOS 7 is limited to iPad 2 or later, or iPad mini.
