To provide iOS 8 support, need to xcode 6. As far as code is concerned, it depends on the xcode 6 requirement. We need to update only those functions those are deprecated in iOS 8. And for the UI, apple introduced 2 new screen size 4.7 and 5.5 inch. We need to use autolayout to manage the UI. Please let me know if any other issue. Thanks.

If your app is in App Store, you can download and install the app right in your iOS 8 device.
Showing as iOS 7 5s device, but if you use Xcode 6 (include iOS 8) you should rewrite some code to adapt for iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus.
That means if you use Xcode 5 to build the ipa, no iOS 8 features will be shown.

There are more than 1.3 millions apps available on app store and Apple taken care of those apps.
To get benefits of new iOS devices and iOS8 features you need to use xCode6 GM.
Optimization for iPhone 6 and iPhone 6+ will be done using Auto resizing property.
