Yes, a minor incompatibility, IT DOESN'T WORK ;) Apple has a TIL article
about that, basically saying that it doesn't work under 8.0, the code is
not there. I think it works under 8.1 but I wouldn't use it under
anything. It causes all sorts of headaches and weird stuff like the
devices falling off the chooser, etc.
