Bug Report

Problem

As from a cordova documentation iOS 11 is a minimum deployment target starting from cordova-ios 6? I think it is dramatically high. Is it possible to make it lower: 9 or maximum 10?

This is a official apple statistics for iPhone: 81% iOS 13 13% iOS 12 6% Earlier (9, 10, 11)

iPad: 73% iPadOS 16% iOS 12 11% Earlier (9, 10, 11)

What is expected to happen?

Minimum deployment target should be iOS 9 or maximum 10

What does actually happen?

Minimum deployment target is iOS 11

Version information

cordova-ios >= 6.0.0

Not possible. Cordova-ios@6 utilises the scheme feature to address a lot of cross origin issues in the WKWebView, which requires iOS 11.

If you must target below iOS 11 then your options are:

  1. Stay on cordova-iso@5.1.1 with the WK_WEBVIEW_ONLY flag & a wkwebview plugin installed.
  2. You may be able to override the minimum deployment target on cordova-ios@6, but this configuration if possible may break without notice. And you obviously would have to remain on the file:// protocol.
