iOS 8 and App Previews

Question

As you may now, Apple sent an email to developers last week to introduce new features in iTunes Connect, such as the App Previews. In this email it was said that:

iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite are required to capture an App Preview video.

And in the iTunes Connect Developer Guide, the App Preview is stated as optional.

So... does that mean that the App Preview is only required if submitting an app version targeting iOS 8? Or does it just mean that you must have iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite to create the App Preview? Could I submit a new version of my app still targeting iOS 7 with no App Preview?

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

There is no requirement to provide app previews.

It means if you wish to provide the optional app reviews, that you need iOS 8 and Yosemite to create the app preview.
