Can Voyager be built for legacy iOS devices? (lemm.ee)

I have been able to backport some flutter iOS apps to 32bit legacy devices. This is only in some cases where all their dependencies are compatible + some tweaking of build scripts.

I wonder if Voyager can be backported, as it's crossplatform (react native?) app. Before I dig does anyone know if this is possible?

EDIT: I'm not asking the devs to do anything, I'm asking anyone familiar with the code if they know whether this is feasible before I start digging

I'm using voyager on my iphone just fine. This is for my old ipad (ipad 4, iOS 10.3.4).

I have built some flutter apps with an older version of xcode & flutter and they work just fine. Guess it was worth a try asking here.

I mean, you've been advised and empathized with so I think thats kinda it. Never hurts to ask as long as you're able to hear something that differs from the ideal :)

Edit: if thats a laudable goal, maybe you can try rebuilding it for that. He's gotta focus on current and future, like ask his permission or I don't know how that works but maybe he's open to it
