[DISCUSS] Supported iOS Versions
The topic of supported iOS version came up in a docs PR recently [1]. I was surprised to find that we still support iOS 8. I imagine if someone came along with an issue on iOS 8, we wouldn't bother fixing it.
In the Android docs, we say "As a general rule, Android versions become unsupported by Cordova as they dip below 5% on Google's distribution dashboard".[2] Should we adopt the same model for iOS? According to Apple[3], 95% of users are on iOS 10 or 11.
I suggest that the next major version of cordova-ios only supports iOS 10+, and that in future we continue to follow this 5% rule across all platforms to lower our maintenance burden.

Apologies, my last reply (and thus Julio's follow up) was accidentally
not to the list.
To sum up, we only support iOS 9+ since 4.4.0. I'll update the docs to
reflect this. I think a lot of the docs are in a poor state, and I hope
to improve them over the next few months.

We dropped support for iOS 8 on cordova-ios 4.5 and as far as I remember,
dropping iOS 9 was on the list of next major release schedule.
