They said that they were accepting apps built with Swift for iOS 8 and OSX 10.10 so sounds like it won't work with older OS version. They weren't all that specific about it though so I could be wrong.

New language runs on Obj-C runtime. Maybe apps written in Swift can run smoothly on existing OS.

Perhaps the bridging to all the Cocoa libs won't be supported pre iOS8
