Widespread SDK Platform Support

The versions below are the minimum supported versions across all PowerSync Client SDKs, so you can expect them to work regardless of which SDK you use.
PlatformVersion
AndroidSDK 24 (Android 7.0)
iOS15.0
macOS14.0 (Sonoma)
Windows10
Linuxglibc 2.34+
WebSee Web Compatibility.
Note that some client SDKs may support lower versions than the ones listed here.

Supported SDK Platforms

Note: An empty Platform Version cell means that the lowest target version is currently unknown/untested.

Dart/Flutter

Platform / FeatureSupported?Platform VersionNotes
AndroidYes (x86-64, aarch64, armv7)SDK 24 (Android 7.0)Requires Flutter
iOSYes13.0Requires Flutter

Web Compatibility

PowerSync’s web-targeting SDKs use either an IndexedDB or OPFS-based virtual filesystem (VFS) to persist rows on the user’s device. On Dart/Flutter, the VFS is chosen automatically; on JS, the developer can choose which VFS strategy they prefer. Each VFS enjoys differing levels of platform support across browsers / devices / operating systems. For a full list of VFS implementations, comparisons, and caveats, see SQLite Virtual File Systems.

Capacitor

Requires Capacitor 8 or later. See the Capacitor v8 upgrade guide if you are on Capacitor 6 or 7.

Supported Platforms Policy

PowerSync supports a wide number of target platforms across its many SDKs. We aim to support as many platforms and versions as are useful for users and practical to maintain.

When we raise the minimum version

In general, PowerSync aims to support any platform version that still receives security updates from the platform provider. For platforms that follow an LTS and Current release model, this means we aim to support all active LTS releases along with the Current release. Supporting every version that fits the above criteria is not always feasible. When we cannot support all of them, we prioritise support for newer versions over older versions to ease maintenance. We will occasionally maintain support for an older version on a case-by-case basis for larger customers. Reach out to us at hello@powersync.com if this is you.

Exceptions

  • Dart/Flutter: The Dart/Flutter team only supports the latest stable release (three-month cycle). We don’t follow this release schedule, since dropping support for versions only three months old is undesirable. For the Dart/Flutter SDK’s minimum Dart SDK version, see pub.dev / the project’s pubspec.yaml.
  • Android: Several of our SDKs require AndroidX libraries. We set our minimum to the current AndroidX default minSdk (which AndroidX picks to cover ~99% of Play Store users), except in cases where other factors force a higher minSdk.
