As there are changes in iOS and the version of these components has been stuck in 9.5, will this be the end of these components? There is hardly any changes or upgrades made to this set of wonderful components created by Babak.
any thoughts?

Im worried about that too. Ive has such great luck with these components.. I am not strong enough in the IOS world to make any major changes.. I would gladly pay for the components.

Same here. I have donated small amounts to Babak for his contribution. Although not big but hope he is still here to help us in trying to improve these components.
Maybe he can show us how his component come about and what are the changes to be made.
Now i am trying to re-do all my applications without the DPF components by using Delphi standard components. I know its a waste but i cant be always solving problems due to upgrades.
Delphi already given me enough of problems in upgrading.

Unfortunately Babak sometimes disappears for an unknown amount of time and nobody knows where he is and when he's going to come back. I try to fix a couple of issues as time allows. But I can't spend too much time on this because I'm not getting paid for it. The project donations only go to Babak.

iOS 9 currently has too many issues so I'm waiting for a stable version before I upgrade my devices. In order to fix the iOS 9 issues right now I'd need a 2nd device for development. If this was a commercial project this wouldn't be an issue. But for a free component this is kind of problematic.

It takes time to learn a new language. Swift has its pros and cons as well. If your application requires a database access, then you have to think of how to set up a JSON or REST server to interact with your database (if i am not wrong). Here in delphi, I still can use UniDAC components to have my iOS or Android App to directly link to my database.
For me, i dont have that luxury to spend the time learning another language. Hence, i started to re-code my application using Firemonkey components. I also met some problems along the way as there isnt a segmented control in Firemonkey. Will replace it with combo box if there is no other alternatives.
If not, i think can use the TMS components. They provide similiar components to D.P.F
Just my few cents worth of advise.

I'm sticking with D.P.F. now because it is more offers more visual control options than TMS iCL. For me it is stable as long as I use Delphi XE8 and XCode 6 and build for iOS 8.4. Thank you Sebastian and Babak and anyone else who has contributed.

Ive wondered if I should just bite the bullet and redo everything is raw firemonkey..

I think it's time to learn swift 2.0. It not so difficult at all !

Well for me, I finally got my app working ok with IOS9.. The only thing that I cant get to work is.. DPFQLPreviewController..
