Our policy has historically been to drop support if usage is under 5%. There some amount of leeway in judgement here as well: is it trivial to continue support or causing us pain?
For iOS, 5% of usage comes from iOS6 or below as reported by https://developer.apple.com/support/appstore/. I'd venture and say thats almost all iOS 6, which puts us right on the border. That said, the support story for cordova is: all existing apps continue to work, if you want to target the older platform you can continue to use an older cordova-ios, so I think we can be bold here. 1 more month of iphone sales and itll be <5% usage for iOS6 ;) -Michal On Sun, Nov 9, 2014 at 6:20 PM, julio cesar sanchez <jcesarmob...@gmail.com> wrote: > Apple just says "earlier" 5%.
