GitHub user GitToTheHub edited a discussion: cordova-ios 8.0.0: Support minimum iOS 15
Hi, I would raise the minimum iOS version for cordova-ios 8.0.0 from version 13.0 to version 15.0. Here are the reasons: ### Why minimum iOS 15? #### Still 10 years of device support We still support devices released in 2015. The minimum iPhone would be iPhone 6s released on September 2015, or iPhone SE - 1. generation - released in 2016. For iPadOS, this would be iPad Air 2 (2014), or iPad 5. Generation (2017). #### iOS 13 is upgradable to iOS 15 Every device (iPhone/iPad) which supports iOS/iPad OS 13, also supports iOS/iPad OS 15 (see https://iosref.com/ios) #### No Simulators available for older OSs In the recent XCode 26 version you can minimum install an iOS 15 simulator. The minimum XCode version supported by Apple for uploading new apps is XCode 16 (requirement since 24. April 2025). The deployment target must be set to iOS 18 and you can also minimum install an iOS 15 simulator in XCode 16. According ChatGPT, you can't test an App with XCode 16 on a iOS 13 device. #### Remove code for older OSs We can remove Code for older OSs and must not support them any more. What do you think?
