You know I noticed that. My tablet will not run some of the apps. I ended up installing Lemmey itself as a PWA. There is also another you should be able to use too. Anyone remember the other PWA App?

iOS dev here, especially when using Swift, supporting older OS’s greatly restricts which new Swift features you can use. Especially any OS lower than iOS 15.
Give the fact that the vast, and I mean like 95% or more, of iOS users update to the latest iOS version within months of release and over 99% of users are on at least the previous iOS version, it’s preferable to start a new app on the latest iOS version possible.
Unfortunately that means older (usually 5+ years) devices get left out, but with small volunteer dev teams or solo devs it makes practical sense.

By the way, the Progressive Web Apps for the threadiverse that I know about are:
- Lemmy itself
- https://wefwef.app/
- https://slemmy.libdb.so/
One should be able to install these on any mobile platform using browser. For desktops generally Chrome or Edge should work, maybe Opera. Firefox does not support PWAs on the desktop but it does on Android. On iOS Safari is the only browser that supports PWAs.
