    There are a couple smaller reasons, but the big one is that we use NavigationStack to handle our core view navigation–it’s a truly monumental improvement over the old NavigationView, and lets us do things like build an iPad version without rewriting all our nav stuff, but it is unfortunately only compatible with iOS 16+.

    I know that’s probably not a super satisfactory answer, but I’d rather be transparent than spin some PR nonsense at you.

      Thanks for the quick reply! I just wanted to confirm it wasn’t something superficial. I’ll look into updating and see what the performance hit looks like

      The less headache for the devs, the better. I fully support this decision

        Yes! We’re planning to get it into beta as part of our 1.2 milestone, which should start development early August
