Check for warnings of deprecation and new methods

Question

Recently I submitted my app on AppStore with a method setting badgecolor of tabbaritem.

    [[[AppDelegate globalDelegate].tabBarController viewControllers] objectAtIndex:1].tabBarItem.badgeColor = kTabBarBadgeColor;

This badgeColor came in iOS 10 only and my app supported iOS 8 and above. I had no idea about it and the app got approved. Now, I have to resubmit my app with fixing this issue.

I want to know if there is a way to find out such cases where methods get deprecated or are visible in specific OS versions only.

In this case you need to change the target of your xcode project to iOS 8 and then build and run the project xcode will gives the error and warnings. — Ashok Londhe, Jul 05 '17 at 11:08
thanks @AshishKakkad but it is very difficult to check each and every code line before writing. — Swati, Jul 06 '17 at 05:33

By changing target of Xcode project you can see errors & warnings while building.

If you need more info, You can visible all API changes like Added,Modified & Deprecated variants in Apple documentation

it will give you searching options for both Swift & Objective C

Searching UITabBarItem Instance Property badgeColor. it gives API changes are none.Supporting SDK's version

SDKs
iOS 10.0+
tvOS 10.0+

Searching finishedSelectedImage instance method of UITabBarItem.

SDK
iOS 5.0–7.0 Deprecated

Deprecated Use selectedImage with UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysOriginal instead.

thanks. can you share a link to this. How do I change the target for my target, I have deployment target set to iOS 8. — Swati, Jul 06 '17 at 05:34
