hi everyone , does anyone know the minimum supported version of IOS for compose multiplatform? I have not found precise information about it, but it seems to be 14.1, does anyone have precise information about it?

Min required iOS version is 12 but more stable it works starting from ios 13

Apple is actually quite good at backward compat for their OS versions: iOS 15 supports all the way back to the iPhone 6S / iPhone SE (same as iOS 13 and 14). Not sure there is much reason to target iOS < 15 unless the target audience can't update for some reason. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOS_15

It really depends on your user base. If you got an app with millions of users there are bound to be a significant amount still on older versions.

App with millions of users will not likely use alpha technology in production 😅

React native is a good example 🙃

I'm trying to stretch the support down to iOS 12.4 but a simple app is crashing as soon as it starts (with some metal renderer stacktrace), on iOS 13 and later it runs properly.

[David Coronel]

Where is it officially stated that the minimum support is iOS 12?

[Alexander Zhirkevich]

It is not documented I guess. 12 is a requirement for skia and compose team try to support it in compose. You probably should fill a bug if it is critical for you

Oh, I see

Thanks Alexander for the help
