 ## Release Notes
 ### Upcoming
 - Changes
+    - General (iOS): Fixed an issue where prebuilt iOS/tvOS frameworks had an incorrect minimum deployment target (minos), which caused linker warnings.
     - Auth (Desktop): Fixed log spam and high CPU utilization when offline by moving `USE_AUTH_EMULATOR` environment variable check to initialization and eliminating per-request logging (#1629).
     - Messaging: Added new Registration methods using Installation Ids.
       Deprecated old Token based methods.
