How to deal with iOS version fragmentation?

Hey Rhian,

If you’re an iOS developer, you’re probably familiar with the challenge of dealing with all the different versions of iOS out there. There are a number of reasons it’s important to support multiple versions:

  • users upgrade their phones at different times

  • users may be using an older device (like 2nd gen iPad)

  • users may not have upgraded to the latest version of iOS (even on a new device)

  • users may choose not to update to the latest version of iOS

Even if you only support the latest version, you should still be aware of how much usage your app gets from previous versions because that can help you determine where to focus testing/support efforts.

You can deep dive into the following blog to know more about it:
