Ionic's earliest goal was to make it easy to develop mobile apps using web technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Because of this foundation in web technologies, Ionic can run anywhere the web runs — iOS, Android, browsers, PWAs, and more.
In pursuit of adaptive styling, Ionic fully supports and is well tested on the mobile platforms listed below:
| Framework | Android | iOS |
|---|---|---|
| Ionic v8 | 5.1+ with Chromium 89+ | 15.0+ |
| Ionic v7 | 5.1+ with Chromium 79+ | 14.0+ |
| Ionic v6 | 5.0+ with Chromium 60+ | 13.0+ |
| Ionic v5 | 5.0+ | 11.0+ |
| Ionic v4 | 4.4+ | 10.0+ |

Starting with Android 5.0, the webview was moved to a separate application that can be updated independently of Android. This means that most Android 5.0+ devices are going to be running a modern version of Chromium. However, there are a still a subset of Android devices that are unable to have their webview updated. These webviews are typically stuck at the version that was available when the device initially shipped.
To figure out what version of the webview a device is running, log window.navigator.userAgent to the console when inspecting the application using Chrome Dev Tools.
Ionic supports the following browsers:
