Why does it require iOS 16? I am on 15.7 on an iPhone SE Second generation
There are a couple smaller reasons, but the big one is that we use
NavigationStackto handle our core view navigation--it's a truly monumental improvement over the oldNavigationView, and lets us do things like build an iPad version without rewriting all our nav stuff, but it is unfortunately only compatible with iOS 16+.I know that's probably not a super satisfactory answer, but I'd rather be transparent than spin some PR nonsense at you.
Thanks for the quick reply! I just wanted to confirm it wasn’t something superficial. I’ll look into updating and see what the performance hit looks like
The less headache for the devs, the better. I fully support this decision
Does that mean an iPad view is on the cards?
Yes! We're planning to get it into beta as part of our 1.2 milestone, which should start development early August
Great news, looking forward to it!
Just in case you're not aware, your phone is compatible with iOS 16
Oh I know. I’ve just been burned many times in the past with upgrading iOS on older phones so I generally avoid it these days until I have a compelling reason to upgrade. Forced obsolescence and all that
