UI7Kit is an Objective-C library that backports the flat-style iOS7 UIKit appearance to iOS5 and iOS6 apps. It can also dynamically patch legacy UIKit classes at runtime to apply the iOS7 look with a single line of code.

Use cases

• make my iOS 5/6 app look like iOS 7 flat design
• backport iOS7 UIKit styling to older iOS versions
• patch legacy UIKit components at runtime
• apply flat theme to an old iOS app without rewriting UI code
• use UI7-styled navigation bars and tables on iOS6
• renew an old app's appearance with minimal code changes

When to choose

• you maintain an app that must support iOS5/iOS6 but want the iOS7 flat look
• you want a drop-in, 100% UIKit-compatible styling layer
• you prefer runtime patching over rewriting view code

When to avoid

• your app targets iOS7 or later only, where native flat UI already exists
• you need blur effects or status bar styling, which are not supported
• you need a mature, actively developed solution for current iOS versions
