Support for 6.X Braintree pod

Support Braintree 6.X

Currently the drop in only supports up to next major

[!] CocoaPods could not find compatible versions for pod "Braintree/ApplePay":
  In Podfile:
    Braintree/ApplePay (= 6.2.0)

    BraintreeDropIn (= 9.8.2) was resolved to 9.8.2, which depends on
      Braintree/ApplePay (~> 5.19)

Specs satisfying the `Braintree/ApplePay (= 6.2.0), Braintree/ApplePay (~> 5.19)` dependency were found, but they required a higher minimum deployment target.

Describe the solution you'd like.

our current setup is:

    pod 'BraintreeDropIn', '9.8.2'
    pod 'Braintree/ApplePay', '5.22.0'

and can't update to 6.x until drop in allows

👋 Hello @khoogheem - thank you for opening this issue with us.

I have asked our product team to add updating Drop-In to use the latest Braintree iOS v6 to our development roadmap. We will keep you posted when we are able to get this work prioritized.

For internal tracking - ticket DTBTSDK-2832.

Just an update here, @jaxdesmarais spiked out this change and found that we'll likely have to convert Drop In to Swift in order to update to braintree_ios V6 (due to a Swift lang bug; see forum 1 and forum 2).

While this still not on our current roadmap due to limited staffing, we will keep this ticket open as it is a necessary change to make.

We encourage folks to comment here who also need this update to help increase priority.

Good morning,

Any movement on this? Would be nice to have the project move onto the latest Braintree.

Many thanks,

Adam

Hello, any updates on timelines for the above? @scannillo

Hi @scannillo
Is there an update on this? Most Braintree fraud protection features recommend that the latest version of BT is used. But the drop-in UI is not at the same level. This becomes a blocker for businesses that are paying for the advanced fraud prevention features but can't use it to its full potential

Hey all -

We do not currently have a timeline for this work but will keep this thread updated as we have updates.

Additionally @KushanF iOS v5 has access to the same advanced fraud protection tools as iOS v6. If you are running into issues with a specific subset of advanced fraud protection features please open a new issue with those details as they should be unrelated to iOS v5 vs iOS v6.
