Lower minimum iOS version
We'd love to use JWTKit for some of our iOS code, but we need to support iOS 15. Is it possible and feasible to lower the iOS requirement? A quick check doesn't seem to indicate any iOS 16+ dependencies.
This is a bug, not a feature request. When the Swift 6 compatibility PR was merged, the OS versions in the 5.10 manifest were bumped, although they shouldn't have been IIUC.
We upped the minimum versions for JWTKit v5 so it's been like that for a while. I'm not against lowering it to iOS 15 but we probably need to have a discussion around our support rules and define them somewhere for new versions (e.g. should Vapor 5 support iOS 15 or should be go straight to 18 even if we're not using anything that requires it etc)
I think iOS/macOS SDK considerations should use a completely different set of support rules compared to the likes of Swift toolchain versions. Bumping libraries to iOS 18+ unnecessarily simply prohibits use in almost every app.
Yeah it's a symptom of the platforms mess in SwiftPM. Very happy to accept a PR for iOS 15 though (and other related platforms) - I can't see that holding us up much in the future. Otherwise I'll get to it next week
