We’re weighing the pros and cons of dropping iOS 7 support in Couchbase Lite.

The big advantage is that we can package the framework as a proper dynamic 
library, instead of as a static library. This will eliminate a lot of annoying 
build issues, both for the CBL team and for you developers. (I hate to think of 
how many hours I’ve spent in the past five years dealing with static library 
crap in Xcode…)

The disadvantage, of course, is that it’s a deal-breaker for any developer who 
still needs to support iOS 7 in their app.

So I thought I’d informally poll whether any of you still need iOS 7 support, 
and if so, for how much longer. (It appears 
<https://david-smith.org/iosversionstats/> that only about 3% of users still 
run iOS 7; 85% are on iOS 9.)
