Why isn't 主播大秀 iPlayer supported on older devices?
Continuing to support 主播大秀 iPlayer on devices running operating systems older than those listed above would seriously hinder our ability to develop new features for the vast majority of people using 主播大秀 iPlayer.听
In many cases, support for older operating systems had already been听dropped by their owners (Amazon, Android or Apple) for some time. So while we鈥檝e been able to support these devices for additional years, it鈥檚 no longer sustainable for us to continue to do so.
