[BUG] TCG Live crashes and is not playable on iPhone 8

I know it’s an old device, but every other Pokémon game (Masters, GO, Unite etc.) works with no issues on iPhone 8. TCG Live crashes so much in every area of the game that the game’s literally unplayable. If you can fix this, please do, as you could potentially lose players who play on older devices, not just me on my iPhone 8.

    I was in the same boat last year, you’ll have to update your phone since this a hardware issue relating to the amount of RAM that the iPhone 8 has (the iPhone 8 only has 2GB of RAM, a laughable amount that Live has clearly exceeded despite listing the phone model as the bare minimum).

    I wouldn't hold your breath for backwards compatibility with a 6+ year old smartphone. I don't know what the issue with the code base is, but clearly it has terrible optimization.
