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

Date: 13 September 2023

Accepted

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with outdated iOS versions.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.
