OS support policy

Lyfo maintains active support for recent Android versions where recent is defined as the most recent general release major version (14 currently) and the previous two releases (Android 12 and Android 13). New major versions are typically released every August, to allow vendors some time to apply upgrades to their devices Lyfo will roll over the major version support per January 1st of the following year.

For example with the release of Android 14 in August 2023 this means that Android 11 will no longer be considered a development target starting January 1st 2024.

This means that devices with older Android versions which already have the app installed will no longer receive updates via Google Play and devices that do not have the app installed will no longer be able to download the app via Google Play.

Devices with a no longer supported Android version that are managed via an MDM can still have the app installed using the MDM up to the point that support for the device specific Android version is available in the app.

Seeing as this policy represents a significant delta from the previous which was based on device market share the support for Android 10 will be extended past the date that it should have ended based on this policy and will end per January first 2024.
