> Can it be confirmed if CordovaLib can stay at 11.0, but only bump the project template to 12.0? > > Maybe the project template could be increased to support new features (one-icon), but allowing anyone else who use only the CordovaLib in their non-Cordova project to continue to support iOS 11. I didn't test via code change, but setting the deployment targets manually in xcode will still allows us to build as long as the App target is >= the deployment target of `CordovaLib` target. The bigger concern is how XCode behaves if you attempt to configure a target to a version that it no longer supports (and is not selectable via the UI). To test this, I installed cordova-ios@5 platform which tries to set the deployment target to 10.0. The observed behaviour is in the XCode UI, under the App target, you see Deployment Target 10 (when it's normally not selectable in the dropdown menu). Under the `CordovaLib` target, the target is set to `default`  When attempting to build this project, the following errors are produced: ``` note: Building targets in dependency order /Users/norman/development/cordova/test/iostest/platforms/ios/CordovaLib/CordovaLib.xcodeproj: warning: The iOS deployment target 'IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET' is set to 10.0, but the range of supported deployment target versions is 11.0 to 16.4.99. (in target 'CordovaLib' from project 'CordovaLib') /Users/norman/development/cordova/test/iostest/platforms/ios/HelloCordova.xcodeproj: warning: The iOS deployment target 'IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET' is set to 10.0, but the range of supported deployment target versions is 11.0 to 16.4.99.

Select a development team in the Signing & Capabilities editor. (in target 'HelloCordova' from project 'HelloCordova') warning: Run script build phase 'Copy www directory' will be run during every build because it does not specify any outputs. To address this warning, either add output dependencies to the script phase, or configure it to run in every build by unchecking "Based on dependency analysis" in the script phase. (in target 'HelloCordova' from project 'HelloCordova') ** ARCHIVE FAILED ** ``` So there are two parts: ``` /Users/norman/development/cordova/test/iostest/platforms/ios/CordovaLib/CordovaLib.xcodeproj: warning: The iOS deployment target 'IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET' is set to 10.0, but the range of supported deployment target versions is 11.0 to 16.4.99. (in target 'CordovaLib' from project 'CordovaLib') ``` Shows that despite the UI, CordovaLib **is** being attempted to built with a deployment target of 10.0, as expected for Cordova-ios@5, but XCode 14.3 is refusing to build it since it can only build deployment targets 11+ Likewise, the same erroris also reproduced for the app target: ``` /Users/norman/development/cordova/test/iostest/platforms/ios/HelloCordova.xcodeproj: warning: The iOS deployment target 'IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET' is set to 10.0, but the range of supported deployment target versions is 11.0 to 16.4.99. (in target 'HelloCordova' from project 'HelloCordova') ``` This is further reinforced by their documentation for minimum SDK and requirements:  So based on this current behaviour there is a chance that XCode 15 will drop support for iOS 11. If that happens and if we aren't proactive on it, then we may need to make another major release to drop support for iOS 11 at that time. I don't think we have any particular deadlines to meet so we can wait to see what XCode 15 will support when it's beta comes out. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
