Storyboard link on iOS below 9.0

Question

I play with new links on the Storyboard. According to the Apple documentation, the minimum requirement for iOS is version 9.0.

However, I successfully deployed the test application with a simple show segue between two cryptocurrencies inside the same application associated with the Storyboard link to iOS 8.3 and Simulator with iOS 8.0.

Incorrect documentation, or am I not seeing anything obvious?

Answer 1

It is backward compatible with 8.0, with the exception of segues relationships. See Xcode 7 Release Notes

Storyboard References may now be deployed to iOS 8, OS X 10.10, and watchOS 1.
Backwards-deployed Storyboard References may not be connected to relationship segues and may not refer to storyboards in external bundles. (21275172)
