user interface - Using iOS 6 theme for iOS 7 app

Question

I am curious: is there a way to set an iOS 7 app to run with the old fashion iOS 6 visual appearance? I am aware of the UIAppearance protocol but setting the appearance for each individual element seems to be a bit of hassle.

Answer 1

Update: It is no longer possible to upload apps targeting the iOS6 SDK.

Short answer: Compile with SDK6, while it is still possible. Eventually, Apple will deny this, however.

If you are feeling adventurous, try: [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] registerDefaults:@{ @"UIUseLegacyUI": @YES }];

(Don't submit your apps with this, however.)
