How to change minimum iOS version? (DEF-2598)

[sergey.lerg]

I am making an extension that wants iOS 8.0 as a minimum version
ld:embedded dylibs/frameworks are only supported on iOS 8.0 and later

I’ve tried specifying miphoneos-version-min=8.0 inside ext.manifest, but Defold didn’t like it saying it’s an unsupported flag.

I’ve also tried using custom Info.plist file, while I couldn’t find the right way to specify it in Editor 2, I was able to get the template from Editor 1 and manually adjusting game.project file to set it. Changing MinimumOSVersion there also didn’t have an effect.

So how can it be changed?

Hmm, this is a question for @Mathias_Westerdahl

[Mathias_Westerdahl]

Yes, that is currently unsupported, but we have a ticket for it: DEF-2598
Also, we don’t currently support shared libraries, which is ticket DEF-2732 (I’ve heard it’s not allowed on iOS?)

[sergey.lerg]

Dynamic libraries and frameworks got allowed since iOS 8.0.
Does it seem like an easy fix to allow setting minimum os version?

[Mathias_Westerdahl]

It could be, but we haven’t looked into it yet

Looks like here is the same issue Defold 1.2.141 has been released - #40 by lazy.kokos

Is there any update on this topic? I’d like to use an iOS framework that was build for iOS 9 in Defold, but I can’t. I get this error when I try to create an iOS bundle: “… was built for newer iOS version (9.0) than being linked (8.0)”

[Mathias_Westerdahl]

No new news unfortunately.
I can’t give an ETA either I’m afraid.

I’m working on a TensorFlow Lite NE for Defold and the framework is built for iOS 9. I tried to re-build it myself for iOS 8, but the library didn’t work. Here’s the topic: DefTensor – TensorFlow Lite Native Extension
