Aaah, just the mDNS I need to appease my Apple user-base...
It's OK, upgrading 5508s is one of the lesser painful things I do.
Upgrading Prime shouldn't be too bad, either. Patching is a walk in the
park. Maybe 1.2 -> 1.3 will come that way...

From what I understand, it will work with 1.2, you just won't be able
to use the new features from 7.4.

Indeed, 7.4 was just released, but it requires NCS/PI 1.3, which is
not yet available:
"WLC Version 7.4.100.0 will need Prime Infrastructure Version 1.3 to
be managed, Version 1.3 is not yet available to download at this point
of time"
So we wait...

In case you didn't notice, 7.4 was just release. An interesting
snippet from the release notes regarding apple devices...
•Support for the Multicast DNS (mDNS) protocol is introduced.
Multicast DNS (mDNS) service discovery provides the ability for
wireless clients to access Apple services such as Apple Printer and
Apple TV advertised in a different Layer 3 network. mDNS performs DNS
queries over IP multicast. mDNS supports zero configuration IP
networking. As a standard, mDNS uses multicast IP address 224.0.0.251
as the destination address and 5353 as the UDP destination port.
