Our mobile application was originally designed and built approximately 2015. It has been incrementally iOS upgrade up to SDK version 17.2 compiled using XCode 15.
Issue:
Due to a recently degraded Customer Journey, we are blocked from making further changes to the application via the App store due to the fixed Apple protocol message (since April 2025):
“iOS requirements have changed.
• Minimum SDK Requirement:
The minimum SDK version for iOS and iPadOS apps submitted to the App Store after the specified date is iOS 18.
• Xcode Requirement:
Xcode 16 or later is required to build apps with the iOS 18 SDK.
• Existing Apps:
If your app was last released using an older SDK, you will not be affected by this update until you submit a new release.”
Thus, based on an ask to remediate the poor CJ without fully rewriting the app to be iOS 18 / Xcode 16:
Is it possible to apply a fix and compile, release using the older 17.2 and XCode 15 codesets?
We are currently blocked from doing so. Any steer on how to apply a fix and release on the older code sets would be appreciated.
Thank you
