[sword-devel] What is the lowest version of iOS to be currently supported in PocketSword?

[Nic Carter]

Hi Team,

Yes, we need to drop support for older devices. I tried as hard as possible to keep comparability but it wasn't worth the effort in the end, for the tiny number of devices out there.

Also, I will be checking email in about 2 weeks to catch up on SWORD things, so I will read older list emails about PS then.

Finally, there is an updated version of PS src out there that I haven't had time to merge with the official src... I hope to do that at the same time as looking at the mailing list. Off the top of my head, it fixes the install mgr memory leak & search bug in PS, with other things? I had to undo some of the other fixes in the official src because it seemed to (unless these were already there & were finally exposed with the other changes?) introduce new bugs in various components of the app.

Have fun, ybic
Nic :)

It seems that the external frameworks were updated from the previous release of PocketSword. So, is the lowest version supported iOS 6 now? or is it still 5.1.1 and I can ignore the warnings? If 5.1.1 should still be supported, do all of the newer frameworks still work with this version of the iOS or does compatibility need to be tested between iOS ver. 5.1.1 and the newer frameworks (and workarounds be implemented if need be)?
