Too bad it's iOS >= 5 only.. That basically makes this unusable for me.

- blueprint 14y agoSeen the slide at WWDC? Something like 85% of iOS users are on iOS 5. Now if the question is how to convince your boss....
- arnorhs 14y agoSince when is 85% satisfying? If there's a 17-18% increase in downloads out there by simply using a slightly different API and memory technique (not being able to use weak references), then I'd say it's worth it.
- blueprint 14y agoAccording to my experience that's an understatement of the benefits of not supporting old OS versions (and the negatives of having to support them).
- arnorhs 14y agoInteresting. I would love to hear more about your experience and that point of view. Do you have a blog?
- blueprint 14y agoI do but I've not blogged about iOS stuff really. You've got a couple things to consider. One of the big ones is maintainability going forward - old code & processes cost more to maintain and add to software entropy overall.
