All three versions of JB account for less than 1% of active Android devices. Google also thinks that there will not be any phone running JB now. Anyhow, it will still end support for these Android versions to lighten the load of its development team. Moreover, app developers are also encouraged to drop support for Jelly Bean. Anyhow, JB phones will still be able to install older versions of the app, but they will not see newer versions. For more details, check out the Android Developers Blog.
