Correcting myself: Drop ARMv7 and ARMv7s support for iOS, meaning we only 
support 64bit iOS devices from Qt 5.10 onwards.

Yours,

Tuukka

Subject: Re: [Development] Proposal for Qt 5.10 platforms and configurations 
changes


Hi,

Related to the Apple platforms, could we consider the following for Qt 5.10:
- Drop the older iPhone support by removing ARMv7 from iOS 
(http://dorianroy.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/iOS_Support_Matrix_v4.2.pdf)
- Consider also dropping ARMv7s support, which would allow dropping i386 
simulator support
- Drop macOS 10.10 support (we are adding 10.13 or whatever, and thus 
supporting three latest ones means dropping one)

Yours,

        Tuukka

    Apple does not ever release updates to older release series, so since 8.3 
already exists, this is guaranteed to remain 8.2.1.

    8.3.2, please.

    How do you know it won't be called macOS 11? ;)

    The purpose of the preview release *IS* to use it for testing so that you 
can say your product supports the final version (according to Apple). We should 
provision a VM for the first developer preview and update it throughout the 
beta cycle until the final release. So this should not be a problem for us with 
FF in August unless Qt 5.10 releases before macOS Next does.

    Just for the record: make sure not to drop CI for macOS 10.10 - that 
version is still supported in Qt 5.10. Tentative plan for 5.11 would be to drop 
10.10 support.
