Hey guys! I recently discovered that Shopify doesn't support IE8, but not the way I wanted to find out.
Basically, IE8 may be old, but some still use it, and is still a part (albeit a small one) of my development and testing process.
Now, because that app login (using the shopify api) goes through a *browser* redirect, this gets stopped when loading the shopify V2 admin console with a message saying that my browser is unsupported.
I don't want to enter the debate of who supports what, but I'd like to know two things:
- When shopify doesn't support some main browsers (IE8 *was* a main one), could that be indicated somewhere obvious?
- Why is the app login going through a *browser* (as in inside a webpage) redirection when it really should be done from the back-end directly.
Benefits for everyone here:
- For app developers: if I knew that IE8 support has been officially dropped by Shopify, I probably wouldn't deal with it.
- For Shopify: doin gthat redirection in the right place would probably save you some bandwith and processing power, not to mention being loved by your app develpers for being clear on what's supported and not!
I just can't find any official information telling app developers to only code against IE9+ (or something else). Can someone clarify this?
Many thanks!
