4.x.x version support #942

Closed userException closed 1 year ago

userException commented 1 year ago

On the iOS Braintree SDK(https://github.com/braintree/braintree_ios) GitHub page it is written that version 4.x.x will be unsupported from Feb 2023. I have two questions:

  1. Will this be unsupported after the end of Feb 2023 or starting Feb 2023
  2. When it is unsupported, will the payments also stop working if the app is still using the SDK or is it just that you guys won't entertain any issues with this version?

👋 Hi @userException. Thank you for the question. In that section of the README, we link out to our developer documentation that has more detail on what the different SDK statuses mean.

Our "unsupported" versions are defined as:

You can also see a nice timeline of when an SDK version will go through the various statuses, this way you can plan for its deprecation and upgrade accordingly.

The later.

The later. However if a vulnerability comes up with an unsupported version, processing may be suspended at any time. I think this is unlikely for braintree_ios v4 anytime soon, but still good to upgrade as soon as you can.
