I have an app for a product I helped build at a startup that launched and went under back in 2014.
The app which now displays the "This app needs to be updated by the developer to work on this version of iOS" message.
That ain't gonna happen. (Not even sure if anybody still has the keys to that Apple Developer account or not. The end of that startup was not very pretty...)
Fortunately, this device exposes all its functionality via a local web server - the app was mostly a neat way of finding the device's local IP address then opening up a web view for that. So at least it still works and can be configured - you just need to know how to find it's IP address via other means...

Six decades? We didn't quite make it 6 years...
