        • Problems with the iOS wrapper
          • Lohan: We are using CocoaPods to manage our dependencies within our iOS project. We are experiencing some issues with the pod "libindy-objc".

          • XCode 9 (what is currently supported by Indy SDK) is deprecated will soon be End-of-Life. Only supported in OSX before Sierra.

        • Timeline for deprecating Indy wrappers in favor of Aries contributions
          • Focus is on the Aries SDK, no longer on the Indy SDK
          • Moving too fast to deprecate will scare people trying to get started today, because there are no mature alternatives in Aries today.

              • .NET and Xamarin is used by Open Source Mobile Agent (OSMA), which works today.
