Currently I am with the iOS 7 library and I intend to update my library to iOS 8. I would like to know what will be the impact of this update on the projects I already own.
I’ll be able to support my iOS 7 projects without any problems?
My question is that when I was upgrading from iOS 6 to iOS 7, there was a huge impact. I had to redo most of the screens of my projects. Ended up generating a lot of rework and loss.

It is hard to say whether you will have problems or not, it will vary from the components and dependencies of each project.
You can check the list of changes directly in the Apple documentation: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/releasenotes/General/iOS80APIDiffs/index.html
The change was not as drastic as the iOS 6 to the iOS 7. Some I can score for you are:
UIAlertController who came to replace the UIAlertView and UIActionSheet.WKWebView which replaces the UIWebView.0
If you want to submit an application in the store you are required to support Apple’s SDK8 and consecutively the new iOS8. You shouldn’t have so many problems starting, but there are certain features that have been changed which will still require you some work.

Still not required to support iOS 8. 3 days ago I published an app only supporting iOS 7.

you are obliged to support the SDK8. The minimum target of the application, in this case 7 is indifferent. From Apple’s website "New apps and app updates submitted to the App Store should support iOS 8 and be Optimized for iOS Devices with Retina display." https://developer.apple.com/ios8/

So in this case how would you explain my posting with Xcode 5 and application Loader 2.9 yet? In this case, as I upgraded to Xcode 6 I am obliged to upload with iOS 8. However, before when I posted with Xcode 5 there was no problem.

Then I have no answer for you, I’m just trying to give you an explanation based on Apple’s official documentation and my experience in a recent application. I also did not want to update the application, because it is in a critical phase and with little development time, but due to the restrictions of Apple I had to update it. Honestly, I think that because you made the submission at an early stage it was accepted, but I don’t think you’ll be very successful in the future, but again, just my opinion based on Apple documentation

Fully accepted opinion, I’m just sharing the experience I’ve had. And now, yes, I had to update the Xcode, and with that, yes, I had to do the redesign of what was necessary. And yes, we always have to adapt the conditions. Thanks for the help.
