Re:Extracting Data from an Old iOS App Broken by iOS 14.5

The developer had already released a new version of the app that is compatible with iOS 14.5, the problem was the user was using a very old version from 2014. Expecting a 7-year old build of an app to continue to work on a modern version of iOS isn't really realistic, especially considering how often iOS introduces breaking changes.

I use 30 and 40 year old software all the time, and more importantly, the data from 30 and 40 year old software all the time, with no problem at all.
There is no compatibility or obsolescence problem with ios, ios apps, or most importantly the data in ios apps, that is not artificially created by people who benefit from such problems.
Expecting a 7 year old build of anything to still work is entirely "realistic".
