I wanted to try it, but apparently not compatible with IOS 9. I wonder if this app has any features that require a later OS, or did you just pick the OS compatibility at random in XCode when you created the project? Why am I using IOS 9, you ask? Because that is the latest my device supports. Why not upgrade you ask? Because my device works fine and is in great shape, so I'd rather not destroy the planet for for that sake of my own greed, vanity and stupidity.

So anyone who has a device capable of running > iOS 9 is greedy, vain, and stupid. Got it.

I am sorry, but I am using JUCE framework [1] which has some C++ features (aligned allocation) that are only supported from iOS 11. I'm constrained by the framework, I've set the minimum iOS version it supports. Sorry again! [1] https://juce.com/ https://juce.com/

Someone is creating a free app in their spare time and that's how you are going to thank them for it? If it doesn't work for your setup then just move on instead of telling people to spend more of their time to make it work for your edge case.

  It's ok, they didn't ask rudely :) People don't be angry, give me more upvotes instead, so the link can stay on front page longer and other people can see it! :)

According to [0], you're in the bottom 1.5% of users and running an OS that debuted over four years ago. While I am all for being inclusive regarding choice of OS, you do realize that: a) you are running on a platform that it is impossible to load a previous OS onto an actual device, so if the developer bought their device after iOS 9 (quite likely), that actually can't put iOS 9 onto their device for testing. b) would you excited about testing 4 years' worth of operating systems over at least 3 devices (iPhone 7 size, iPhone big size, iPhablet size), many of which you can only do on the simulator ... c) ... fixing bugs on obsolete versions of the OS that few users will even encounter because they cannot run those versions c) ... for free d) ... just to accommodate 1.5% of users who insist on living four years in the past? If you are the kind of person that likes to do all that for free, though, perhaps you could offer your assistance to the author? Btw, Apple will recycle your old phone for free, if the planet is the only thing holding you back.
