Title: Strategy for maintaining iOS versions in the OpenEdx Project | ||
================================================== | ||
################################################################### | ||

||
Context | ||
------ | ||
******* | ||
In the OpenEdx project, we are developing a mobile application on the SwiftUI platform for iOS users. | ||
To ensure optimal support and security of the application, we need to make a decision regarding which | ||
versions of the iOS operating system will be supported. This document outlines the decision to support | ||
only the current iOS version and the two previous versions. | ||

|
||
We decide to support only the current iOS version and the two previous versions. This means that our | ||
application will be optimized and tested to work on the three most recent iOS versions at the time | ||
of the application's release. | ||
|
||
Why is this important? | ||
|
||
1. Streamlined Development and Testing | ||
------ | ||
====================================== | ||
|
||
Supporting multiple iOS versions requires significant development and testing resources. By restricting | ||
the number of supported versions, we can focus our efforts on developing new features and improving the | ||
application's quality, without spreading ourselves too thin trying to maintain compatibility | ||
with outdated iOS versions. | ||
|
||
2. Performance and User Experience Enhancement | ||
------ | ||
============================================== | ||
|
||
With each new iOS version, Apple introduces performance and functionality improvements. By limiting support | ||
to older iOS versions, we can leverage new capabilities and libraries to create faster and more feature-rich | ||
application versions. This also enhances the user experience and user satisfaction. | ||
|
||
3. Security | ||
------ | ||
=========== | ||
|
||
The most crucial aspect of mobile application development is ensuring user security. New iOS versions | ||
contain critical security updates, and supporting old iOS versions can leave the application vulnerable | ||
to known threats. By supporting only the current version and the two previous ones, we can quickly respond | ||
to security updates and provide robust data protection for users. | ||
|
||
Project Impact | ||
------ | ||
************** | ||
|
||
This decision will impact the project in the following ways: | ||
------ | ||
Enhanced application security. | ||
Improved performance and functionality. | ||
Reduced development and testing burden. | ||
Implementation | ||
|
||
- Enhanced application security. | ||
- Improved performance and functionality. | ||
- Reduced development and testing burden. | ||
- Implementation | ||
|
||
To implement this decision, we will monitor the releases of new iOS versions and update our application | ||
accordingly, considering the limitation of supporting only the current version and the two previous versions. | ||
We will also inform users about the need to update their operating systems for optimal application performance. | ||
|
||
Alternatives | ||
------ | ||
************ | ||
|
||
Continuing to support older iOS versions would demand more resources, pose security and performance risks, | ||
and limit our ability to adopt modern technologies and innovations, potentially slowing down development | ||
and compromising user experience. |
