Altimeter and required device capabilities

We're developing an app that requires that the device has altimeter present. Currently there is no way of targeting such devices with required device capabilities as iPhone 5S supports everything 6 & 6 Plus does (and it would be wrong anyway). Sure we could test it in code, but it would be unpleasant for the user to purchase the app only to discover that the key feature does not work on her device.


Is there a plan to add this capability to the requirements or is there something else we haven't thought about?

It has been nearly 4 years and Apple doesn't bother to respond to forums and suggestions in the bug reporter.
If I am correct the only option is to list all the available devices in the app's description in the App Store? And then check it using isRelativeAltitudeAvailable and possibly block devices without altimeter from using the app?
