Description

Analytics suggest that only < 1.5% events are from iOS 9 devices. We should stop supporting iOS 9 and make iOS 10 as minimum target. It will help us to clean our conditional codes.

*Reopening ticket.* When trying to run a device < iOS 10 a bad error message is displayed.

   [ERROR]  This app does not support the device "Europa"
   The device is running iOS 9.3.5, however the app's the minimum iOS version is set to 10.0
   In order to install this app on this device, lower the <min-ios-ver> to 9.3 in the tiapp.xml:
   <ti:app xmlns:ti="http://ti.appcelerator.org">
   <ios>
   <min-ios-ver>9.3</min-ios-ver>
   </ios>
   </ti:app>

This implies that iOS 9 is still supported and when <min-ios-ver>9.3</min-ios-ver> is added to the tiapp.xml the same above error is shown as well.
