Raise minimum iOS deployment target to 15 by BugorBN · Pull Request #60 · SDWebImage/SDWebImageSVGCoder

BugorBN · 2026-06-08T21:31:20Z

Resolves #59.

Xcode 27 beta no longer supports iOS deployment targets below iOS 15. The current .iOS(.v13) / s.ios.deployment_target = '13.0' declarations emit a the iOS deployment target ... is set to 13.0, but the range of supported deployment target versions is 15.0 to ... warning when building under Xcode 27.

Changes

Package.swift: iOS platform floor 13.0 → 15.0
SDWebImageSVGCoder.podspec: s.ios.deployment_target 13.0 → 15.0

The SwiftPM change uses the string form .iOS("15.0") rather than .iOS(.v15) because the .v15 enum case is unavailable at this package's swift-tools-version:5.1.

Verification

Built clean against the iOS 27 SDK (Xcode 27.0 beta, 27A5194q) for generic/platform=iOS Simulator — ** BUILD SUCCEEDED **, no deployment-target warnings.

Summary by CodeRabbit

Chores
- Raised the minimum iOS deployment target to 15.0 across the package and podspec. Devices on earlier iOS versions may no longer be compatible.
Documentation
- Updated README and compatibility guidance (including backward-deployment examples) to reflect iOS 15+ requirement.

Xcode 27 beta no longer supports iOS deployment targets below 15, so the iOS 13 floor produces a deployment-target warning on every build. Bump the iOS platform to 15.0 in Package.swift and the podspec to build cleanly under Xcode 27. The string form .iOS("15.0") is used because the .v15 enum case is not available at this package's swift-tools-version:5.1.

Address CodeRabbit review: update the requirement and CocoaPods/runtime-check examples that referenced iOS 13 to iOS 15, matching the bumped Package.swift and podspec. The historical notes about CoreSVG.framework being introduced in iOS 13 (and the Xcode 11.4 / iOS 13.4 radar note) are factual and left as-is. tvOS minimum is unchanged.

BugorBN · 2026-06-09T07:48:45Z

Thanks @coderabbitai — addressed in 35ece2f. Updated the README references that state the minimum / show integration examples to iOS 15:

Coder comparison table: iOS 13+ → iOS 15+
Requirements: iOS 13+ → iOS 15+ (tvOS left at 13, matching the unchanged podspec/Package.swift tvOS target)
CocoaPods hint: platform :ios, '13.0' → '15.0'
Runtime example: @available(iOS 13, *) → @available(iOS 15, *)

I intentionally left the two historical notes that CoreSVG.framework was introduced in iOS 13 (and the "Xcode 11.4 && iOS 13.4" radar note) unchanged — those are factual statements about the framework’s origin, not minimum-version guidance.

Tip

For best results, initiate chat on the files or code changes.

@BugorBN That's a thorough and well-reasoned update — the distinction between "minimum deployment target" references (which should say iOS 15) and "historical introduction" notes (which correctly stay at iOS 13 since that's when CoreSVG.framework was introduced) is exactly the right call. Everything looks consistent.

216-234: ⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Backward Deployment section is inconsistent with the new iOS 15 minimum.

The "Backward Deployment" section states the framework supports iOS 12- deployment and provides an example of conditionally using SDImageSVGCoder for iOS 15+ or SDImageSVGKCoder for older versions. However, with the minimum iOS deployment target now set to 15.0 (per Package.swift and the podspec), this library cannot be deployed to iOS 12- anymore. The deployment target prevents the library from being linked into apps targeting iOS versions below 15.

This section should be either removed or significantly revised to clarify that backward deployment below iOS 15 is no longer supported by this library. Developers who need iOS 12- support must use SDWebImageSVGKitPlugin exclusively, not in combination with this library.
