Is is possible to use Embroider in an Ember app v3.16.2 ?
Offhand I’m not sure but my guess is that it would be fairly difficult. Not because Embroider requires a specific version per-se, but it comes down to what addons you have and what versions they are. A lot of addons now support only > 3.24 or 3.28, so finding a set of your addons which are both Embroider-ready but also still 3.16 compatible might be a challenge.
That said it’s theoretically possible, and you can always try it out and see how far you get. The fewer Ember addons you have, and the less custom build-related shenanigans you are doing, the easier it would probably be.

Embroider versions before 2.0 supported Ember 3.16. Starting at @embroider/core 2.0 the earliest supported Ember is 3.28.

Hello, I am using ember-cli version 2.16.2 and ember-source version 3.4.8. Is Embroider compatible with these versions?
No, you will need at least ember-source 3.28 to use current releases of embroider.
As for ember-cli 2.16, I don’t really know where the hard limit is for old ember-cli versions but we actively test the versions that match the ember-source version (so when we test ember-source 3.28.x we also test ember-cli 3.28.x)

Thanks! Let’s say I upgrade to Ember v3.28, can I use Embroider while still retaining my Classic components and pod structure?
Yes, classic components (meaning extends @ember/component instead of @glimmer/component) and pods are supposed to work. This is all for current stable releases of embroider, using @embroider/core 3.x.
