Supporting IPv6-only Networks what things should be taken care?

Regarding apple's announcement regarding iPv6 -only networks, i have some queries.

https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=05042016a

1) What will happen if my apps are already uploaded without ipv6 support ?

2) I am using old Reachability class, will it create any issue?

3) I am using ASIHTTP library which is using NSURLConnection.

4) If i am not using any static iP in my code but my server is on iPV4 support then will it be create any trouble ?

Thanks

How do I support IPv6?

To connect the distributed sites that use IPv6, you can run an automatic 6to4 tunnel from the edge router of each subnet. Sometimes, a router in your infrastructure cannot be upgraded to IPv6. In this case, you can create a manual tunnel over the IPv4 router, with two IPv6 routers as endpoints.

Should I care about IPv6?

IPv6 is Important Long-TermIPv6 is very important for the long-term health of the Internet. There are only about 3.7 billion public IPv4 addresses. This may sound like a lot, but it isn't even one IP address for each person on the planet.

1) Already Uploaded apps are working fine, actually i have not used any static ip addresses in my app.

2) Make sure in old reachability class, you have not used any addresses like 0.0.0.0.

3)It won't create any problem.

4) Not any relation with server.So server may be iPv6 or iPv4, it won't affect your app.
