I don’t know if there’s any right or wrong approach here.
For instance. It’s certainly nice that Windows supports its entire back catalogue. It’s also nice that MacOS has been able to reap the benefit of deprecations, breaking changes, and even 2 architectural shifts.
Though I do think something that’s often missed in this debate are the specific challenges that mobile brings that set it apart from say, the console environment, that really do require a more ‘cooperative’ and ongoing approach to the platform.
Your device really will perform better and present a more cohesive experience if apps can be nudged onto that new privacy API, or an old threading API deprecated and removed.
- seppel 4y agoIf old apps no longer run on newer iOS versions for whatever questionable reasons, then we would have a different discussion. But what happens here is that Apple demands updates although these apps still work. Edit: And if I understand this correctly, they only look at the date when the app was last updated. Just doing a version bump suffices to fulfill their check. There are not technical requirements that need to be fulfilled.
