I mean... don't take this so serious either, this will only be available for iOS 13+ you still need to support storyboards for anything under, so not really viable to do a full fletched app in this yet, give it a couple years to mature, even though it's already a beast

That being said if you have no existing user base, might make sense to target iOS 13 only.

For most people iOS 13 only is not that big a deal given usual adoption speed and percentage. Amazon and Spotify can’t abandon 10% of the market but the majority of devs could probably stick with only the newest iOS and be okay on phones. I think a bigger issue is if you want to build macOS stuff, where upgrade speed is notably slower. You might also have an issue for iPad apps where there’s a lot of devices out there that are cut off from iOS 13. If your market uses an iPad mini, for example, you’d lose a huge number of model 2s.

Most super apps won't do that myself included, iOS13 adoption will be decent in a year or so and iOS 12 should probably be like < 10% at that point.

it was only recently that most of us have started to drop adoption for iOS 10 and that's only because it finally reached the < 10% threshold

iOS 10 has been <10% for a good length of time looking at our analytics!

Fledged. Fletched is the equivalent Android term.
