iOS 11 does not allow running 32-bit apps
Apple's new operating system puts an end to 32-bit software by not allowing them to be installed or launched.
On the first iOS 11 beta, the message "This app is only available in 32-bit and is not compatible with your device" will appear when users install 32-bit software.
And if you upgrade from iOS 10 to iOS 11 beta, 32-bit apps won't work either. "Developers need to update their apps to work on iOS 11," the notification says.

Notice 32-bit apps are not supported on iOS 11. |
Apple's decision was predicted long ago and was officially confirmed as soon as the iOS 11 beta was released. Previously, the US technology company stopped displaying 32-bit iOS apps in search.
Over the past few years, the US technology company has directed developers to build 64-bit iOS software to better exploit the iPhone and iPad hardware. It also helps save storage memory for the device.
iOS 11 doesn't support 32-bit apps, which means devices like the iPhone 5, 5c, iPad mini, and older will have to stay on iOS 10 or earlier.
