IOS 12 as the Minimum not IOS 13 for Traccar Client

kawstraining3 months ago

The App Store no longer allows download of Traccar Cleint. Is there any way to change the minimum back to ios12 rather than ios13?

Traccar Manager still has ios12 as the minimum, but ios13 as the minimum prevents many ipads and iphones from using traccar client.

You can probably get older source code and compile it.

Anton, major respect for you, and all the projects you have done/do. If you need help managing this app or other apps dm.

if Apple let's you set 12 as the minimum for Traccar Client, like it lets you for Traccar Manager, it would be a lot simpler than getting source code and compiling, because this is the Apple Walled Garden we are talking about, not Android.

Sideloading/Apple Configurator 2/Itunes may work for a while and then you run into unreliability and problems because of licensing. You as the developer with the Apple account and the license are best to make the minimum 12, please if possible.

If we increased, it must have been for a reason. Maybe some dependencies require it. I don't remember now.

Hundreds of millions of devices can no longer access traccar client because of going from 12.5 to 13. Whenever you get a chance from everything you do, could please check the dependencies/reason and/or simply checkbox 12 rather than 13 in the app store as the developer.

I am offered an update option on an existing install running IOS 12.5.6, so it will probably work regardless of dependencies; I just cannot do a new install on another virgin device because the App Store blocks access for hundreds of millions of iphones and ipads limited to IOS 12.5.7, which cannot update to IOS 13.
