With all the talk about support on 5.7 and 5.8, is 5.6 going to support
debugging under IOS 9.2 Simulator?
5.6 releases tomorrow, Qt Creator Bug 15705 not fixed.
Has anybody debugged Qt 5.6 under IOS 9.x Simulator recently?

"Continue" with iOS 7? It's currently iOS 6 in both 5.7 and dev branches.
However, I wholeheartedly approve bumping it to 7.
This puts us at a minimum of "last four releases" (by the time 5.8 is released)
for both OS X and iOS. However I'd argue that iOS's schedule should be treated a little
more aggressively given its extremely fast upgrade cycle compared to all other platforms.
As of February 8th, 2016, the iOS version distribution (as measured by Apple -
https://developer.apple.com/support/app-store/) is as follows:
- iOS 9 - 77%
- iOS 8 - 17%
- iOS 7 and earlier - 6%
By the time Qt 5.8 is released, iOS 10 will have just been released and iOS 8's
market share will almost certainly less than 5%, as iOS 7's is now. In that
case is there really much point supporting iOS 7 (or even 8)?
iOS 8 was one of the biggest releases API-wise and so we would be able to
reduce effort significantly by dropping v7. The current version of Xcode also
provides no simulators for iOS prior to 8.1.
Hmm... That would be annoying. iOS 7 is the last version supported on the
iPhone 4 (which I am still using). To me, it doesn't even feel that old.
Here is the list of devices that will be left behind for each version you bumb:

But how many really still use iPhone 4 still in 2017? Qt 5.8 is planned for
October 2016.
Anyway, I leave it for the platform maintainers to decide, if there are no
issues in keeping also these older devices supported, we of course can consider
it.
Yours,
Tuukka
