NCWidgetProviding API was changed in Xcode 12

In the previous versions, NCWidgetProviding protocol and the widgetPerformUpdate methods was available from iOS 8 upwards. Now, it's available only from iOS 10 and up (and deprecated due to the new style widgets). That means we can not made to support anymore pre iOS 10 devices with widgets?
