    That will not matter for the 5c. It does not have the 64 bit processor. It has the A6 not the A7.

    maybe you should wait for actual release of iOS7 & a new version of EW2 should follow. altho one of the iOS developers are here in the forum & i think he manage to make it work for himself, you should ask ChrisTot.

    EW2 needs to be recoded for iOS7 no matter what, recompiling won't be enough, this is 32bit vs 64bit OS all over again but this time its not Windows. If apple didnt threw in a 64 bit curveball then it would have been a cakewalk for developers, now you have a 32-bit iOS compilation and a 64-bit iOS version. That probably means there'll be two iOS7 versions; 32bit for the 5c & 64bit for the 5s since A6 is not 64bit architecture while A7 is.

    Beta is been out for months, pretty sure EW2 is ready for it. Also what i heard is iOS7 will only be compatible starting for iP4s & upwards, not sure might have to check the keynote again.

    I say again, the iPhone 5c does not have a 64-bit processor. The iOS is designed to work on both 32-bit processors (for iPhones 5c and earlier) and 64-bit processors (the iPhone 5s only).

    Apple does not make 2 versions of the same iOS. It will be 1 version that is backward compatible.
