Re: Dropping iOS 5.0 support

Bump.

Didn't see a solid statement here but...

As a developer for the commercial machine we launched a game in Asia Q4
2013 and with a now sizeable amount of users: iOS 5.1 is 1% of total users.

+1 drop support for version < 6.0.

Re: Dropping iOS 5.0 support

Posted by Shazron <sh...@gmail.com>.
On 24th Jan 2014, I updated the Fix Version to "3.5.0" for the issue
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-4863
(as well, I piggybacked arm64 support to the issue)

Re: Dropping iOS 5.0 support

Posted by Ally Ogilvie <ao...@wizcorp.jp>.
Hi all,

So it's an unanimous decision? @Brian L?
I don't see any opposition to this since this thread started in Sept 2013!
Drop it like it's hot!

Reminder - iOS 5 is currently the default deployment target for projects
created with CLI (cordova create).

Regards,
Ally.

Re: Dropping iOS 5.0 support

James,

> Have you seen this (iOS 5 %) in your other apps as well?  Or more so for
the new releases?

This is data from a web app localised in Asia from Q4 2013.
I looked for confirmation of this data trend (sample from the last 90 days)
with a native application released only in the US with a similar MAU
(approx. 30k), and found the adoption rate for newer iOS versions is even
higher.

A decision should be made (if it has not already) and make this publicly
official for Cordova. Perhaps a blog post or something.

Regards,
Ally.
