Hello, Just a quick feedback with stats based on our Cordova app distributed on App Store (if it can helps moving forward on that question). Since 1st of January 2023 -> 97,6% users downloads was made from Apple devices with iOS >= 15.
3 weeks ago we decided to release an update of our app targeting only iOS >= 15 (mainly for support/features reasons). This link https://iosref.com/ios helped us to make a decision (as you can see in this list the iOS version 15 is supported even on “old” device such as iPhone 6s). We were afraid about receiving bad users feedback forced to make iOS upgrade to get the last version of our app… We received absolutely 0 feedback about that point… Clearly, iOS users upgrade their iOS version as soon as Apple launch a release. Have a good (dev) day. > Le 3 mai 2023 à 16:49, julio cesar sanchez <jcesarmob...@gmail.com> a écrit : > > I don’t have any iOS 11 or 12 devices to test, so I would gladly go with > iOS 13. > > > There are no official stats from Apple since they group old iOS versions as > “other”, but according to data from January of 2022, iOS 13+14 were 93% on > iPhone and 88% on iPad. > Then according to data from May of 2022, iOS 14+15 were 96% on iPhone and > 90% on iPad. > At the moment iOS 15+16 are 92% on iPhone and 87% on iPad. > > But other than using a single icon (that is not clear if we would merge > that feature) or not having devices to test on those version, I don’t think > we have any technical reason for bumping the version. > > > El miércoles, 3 de mayo de 2023, Norman Breau <nor...@nbsolutions.ca> > escribió: > >> Hello all, >> >> This is just to start a discussion about the iOS Deployment target for >> cordova-ios 7.x. >> >> Currently the deployment target is set to 11, and we have a pending >> feature for using a single source app icon[1] which >> requires iOS 12. >> >> There is a PR[2] already built to increase the minimum target to 12, >> however we should decide if that's what we should use, >> or if there any particular reason why we should go higher. >> >> Not to say that we should make our decisions purely because some >> third-party dependency but for example, Google Maps iOS sdk in their latest >> major release[3] >> requires iOS 13.
