Should you build for iOS 26? #swiftui #xcode #iosdeveloper




Let‘s talk minimum deployment target. Xcode 27 now has a suggested version of iOS 17. So I checked the adoption rates of the latest major OS releases. And it turns out iOS has just 2/3 of the user base. iOS is ahead with a 87% adoption rate. If you ask me, this target makes the most sense. The 3% for iOS 17 aren’t worth not being able to use new APIs.
