Inquiring about iOS 15.x support for a TestFlight app

Hello

I would like to inquire whether it would be possible to add IOS 15.X support to the TestFlight version of your application.

The device I am using cannot be updated to a newer iOS version, but I would still like to participate in testing the app.


iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 15

All that said, I very strongly suspect nothing will happen. Apple has a pattern of discontinuing development for old platforms and once they do that I have never seen them change their mind when it comes to their user software. For some things Apple only supports the last two system versions and that is it. You're talking about something that is 5 generations old. I have an iPhone that has iOS 16 but when it comes to trying to use the Apple Support App on it, Apple has already flipped the switch even though I have the app on my device. They nicely tell me I need to update the app. Of course that means buying a new iPhone...
