What versions of Windows are supported? #2930

Open alakoring opened 5 years ago

I wasn’t able to find anything explicitly saying what versions of Windows are supported by the Bridge. We have reports from a Windows 7 tester that suggest it is not compatible (the same person runs fine on Windows 10).

Is this a bug on our side that we should try looking into, or is it something that Bridge was never intended to handle?

Hey @alakoring, Ed's mostly correct. Bridge targeted down to Windows 8.0, but we transitioned to only supporting Windows 10 (RS2+) a few years ago.

At the very least, it requires UWP XAML for UIKit, which is all but nonexistent down there.

Thanks — that fits with what’s been reported. (We’re pretty much only using Foundation, but if WinObjC is 10 then I guess we are too.)
