# iOS 12.2 Release Notes

Update your apps to use new features, and test your apps against API changes.

## Overview

Overview The iOS 12.2 SDK provides support for developing iOS apps for iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch devices running iOS 12.2. The SDK comes bundled with Xcode 10.2 available from the Mac App Store. For information on the compatibility requirements for Xcode 10.2, see Xcode Release Notes. App Store Promoting Your Subscriptions with New Offers StoreKit now supports subscription offers in addition to introductory offers, so apps with auto-renewable subscriptions can provide a discounted price for a specific duration for existing and previously subscribed customers. You can use subscription offers to help win back subscribers who have canceled their subscriptions or promote an upgrade to another subscription at a special price. Customers can accept the offer even if they’ve already completed an introductory offer. StoreKit introduces a new array of SKProductDiscount objects within the SKProduct class to display offers within your app to eligible customers. Add a new SKPaymentDiscount object within the SKPayment class to allow these offers to be accepted by the customer. HealthKit New Features High and low heart rate notifications and irregular heart rhythm notifications are now available as read-only category sample types.
