Why not support iOS 10? #3501
|
What is the reason that UTM not support iOS 10?
If it is reason 2 I may want to spend some time to make it be compatible with iOS 10. Because I want to run UTM on my iPhone 5c (iOS 10.3.3). |

You need ARM64. The limitation isn’t iOS 11. It’s that iOS 11 is the lowest iOS that old ARM64 devices still can run. Devices that cannot run iOS 11 are ARM32 which means they can’t run QEMU. |

👍 Super clear. |

I know I probably shouldn't necropost but the oldest version of iOS that 64-bit iPhones can run is 7.0. iOS 10.3.3 is possible, but only for 64-bit devices like the 5s, 6, 6s, and 7, which can run it. If it is possible to do so, why not compile for exclusively 64-bit iDevices? And yes, RAM constraints could be an issue, but the 6s has 2GB ram, the 7 plus has 3GB, and the 1st gen iPad Pro has 4GB, which is plenty enough for QEMU to run. |

In the 4 years since the comment was posted, we've built UTM on top of many APIs that don't exist until iOS 13 |
