I am working on an app in which a primary user interaction involves the use of taps from the Taptic Engine. Everything is working well, but I know this app will not have a good user experience on iPhones older than the iPhone 7.
The only hardware capabilty that could limit devices is NFC (according to tables here: https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/DeviceInformation/Reference/iOSDeviceCompatibility/DeviceCompatibilityMatrix/DeviceCompatibilityMatrix.html), but my app of course doesn't use NFC, and from what I can tell, the API for that is only open to special third parties.
I could spend time to work on a worse version of the app that would function on older devices, but the result would be that most users would have a sub-par experience, resulting in poor ratings, etc.
Can I artificially limit app availability with the NFC capability? Is there another way to do this?
