Description

Does Cordova still support iOS 6?

I've tried searching, and can't find an answer. I can see that iOS 5 support was dropped last year, but I am unclear on iOS 6.

Personally, I feel it's a tad too early to drop support for iOS 6.

But anyway, my project is no longer working with the `cordova-plugin-file` plugin, as the latest version of this plugin makes use of `base64EncodedStringWithOptions` which was only introduced with iOS 7.

I suppose I will downgrade the plugin for now, but I'd like to know whether Cordova is still supporting iOS 6. And it would be good to see this information displayed on the platforms page:
