iOS 11 safe area layout guide backwards compatibility

Question

Is enabling Safe Area Layout Guides compatible to iOS below 11?

Answer 1

I was using this in Objective-C when I had a Navigation Bar in my UIView and had good results for iOS 10. In case you use SafeArea in your xib then you may add in your viewDidLoad:

if (@available(iOS 11.0, *)) {}
else {
    self.edgesForExtendedLayout = UIRectEdgeNone;
}
