Need public-friendly min OS and device descriptions for M2 launch #490

Closed alexgmetcalf closed 2 years ago

alexgmetcalf commented 2 years ago

We need to have the official OS and device requirements for iOS and Android, for the M2 launch.

They need to be written in a comms-friendly way for web pages and so forth, so in a way that a member of the public can understand what they need.

Testing has been working with numbers decided on at the beginning of 2022 based on coverage of the population.

iOS 12+ at that time covered 99% of users. (Could be more than that now.) Officially been testing on 12+ but have run 11 with no problems. Android 8+ hits about 94% of users. SDK 30 has been the minimum that has been tested officially.

Proposed that we go with:

iOS 12.0 or later Android 11 (Red Velvet Cake) or later [this is the version of Android that aligns with SDK 30]

I think that is reasonable. Can adjust in future milestones if need be.

There is talk of moving the app to API 32 in #432 https://app.zenhub.com/workspaces/bc-wallet-6148e7423fe04b001444e2bd/issues/hyperledger/aries-mobile-agent-react-native/432

Android SDK 32 is Android 12. For the Canadian market, this may only give us 46% of the Android user base. SDK 30/Android 11 give us 62% of the Canadian Android market.

It may be worse than 46% since Android 12 can have either API 31 or 32. I don't know the amount of Android 12 users in Canada that have API 12.
