Summary:
UIApplication.setNewsstandIconImage() should be deprecated in iOS9 but it's also incorrectly marked @available(iOS 9,*) making it impossible to call in previous version of iOS where supported. ( 5 or 6 if I recall)

The result of this bug is that our users still on iOS 8 whom have upgraded to our new Newsstand application that no longer uses dynamic Newsstand icons are still seeing the last dynamic icon from our last version that supported the old behavior.

The workaround is to call out to Objective-C where this function is still correctly callable.

Steps to Reproduce:
Create a swift app
Set target to iOS 8 or lower
Try to call this code snippet

        if #available(iOS 9.0, *) {
          // Does nothing in iOS 9 since newsstand is gone.
        } else {
            // Clear any newsstand icons on iOS < 9.0
            UIApplication.sharedApplication().setNewsstandIconImage(nil)
       }

Expected Results:
Should be a valid call

Actual Results:
Compiler errors that the call is not available in SDK's lower than 9

Version:
iOS 9.1 Xcode 7.1.1

Notes:


Configuration:
iPhone 6+
