Minimum OS Requirements for All Platforms
Android
ESChat keeps pace with new Android OS releases and each new app version focuses on the most recent OS versions for new app feature development. Critical bug fixes and security maintenance are still applicable for older versions. Once Android OS versions reach an obsoleted state (8 versions past the OS initial release), they will no longer receive any application support, but the app will continue to function past that first date.
ESChat may still work on these older versions past the obsolete/nonfunctional date. Factors will depend on the built in certificate expiration date as well as other determinants such as server support of the protocol version and server support for the versions the client supports. The projected nonfunctional date might occur at any time after the 1 year limit. Customers with older devices should be aware of the limits of a particular device's support for impending obsolescence and plan accordingly. Please contact ESChat Support with further questions or for specific clarification.
