Reply to Is Swift6 required for iOS18 production apps?
Present requirement is as of April 2024 all iOS and iPadOS apps submitted to the App Store must be built with a minimum of Xcode 15 and the iOS 17 SDK. Which means Swift 5.9 at least. Xcode 15.4 uses Swift 5.10 for instance. I anticipate that it will still be possible to publish from Xcode 15.4. But what is the problem to fo to Swift 6.0 ? You'll have to do it sooner or later in any case. Note: don't forget to close your old threads when you've received the correct answer.

Reply to Guideline 5.4 - Legal - VPN Apps
They propose you to "Request a 30-minute online meeting with an App Review expert to discuss the guidelines and best practices for a smooth review process." Did you do it ? If you do not collect any data, you should make it clear to the user. But apparently, reviewer has found that the app IS collecting some data. What is exactly the situation ?

Reply to How to delete built in iOS Simulator in Xcode 14
There is some confusion in what you explain. Either you run the app on simulator or you run on device. But then, it is not simulator, it is real device app. To remove the app in simulator, look at the simulator home page and search for your app. Then remove the app, as you would do on a real device, by long pressing on the app name and then click on the minus sign on the app icon. Then validate with OK. But the only good solution is to find why your app does not work well on device. There is likely some issues in your code that you'd better correct before publishing the app.

Reply to I need help
When i uninstalled an app made by the developer, i used another app made by the developer Please show the exact error message. Do you mean a different app or a new release of the same app ? How do you try to download ? From appstore ? Directly from Xcode ? Which developer ? Is it someone who developed for you or a developer who published on the appstore ? Have you a way to contact the developer ? the app is trusted. How do you know ? Have a look here: https://medium.com/@jess.parker467/how-to-trust-an-app-on-iphone-a-complete-guide-7c4221cceb3f#:~:text=To%20trust%20an%20app%20on%20iPhone%2C,on%20your%20iPhone%20is%20important.

Reply to Do I must implement the ability to sign in with apple?
The recent guidelines do not require explicitly to sign with Apple account, but require there is a solution with some characteristics (which are met by Apple sign in). 4.8 ASR & NR Login Services Apps that use a third-party or social login service (such as Facebook Login, Google Sign-In, Sign in with Twitter, Sign In with LinkedIn, Login with Amazon, or WeChat Login) to set up or authenticate the user’s primary account with the app must also offer as an equivalent option another login service with the following features: the login service limits data collection to the user’s name and email address; the login service allows users to keep their email address private as part of setting up their account; and the login service does not collect interactions with your app for advertising purposes without consent. A user’s primary account is the account they establish with your app for the purposes of identifying themselves, signing in, and accessing your features and associated services. Another login service is not required if: Your app exclusively uses your company’s own account setup and sign-in systems. Your app is an alternative app marketplace, or an app distributed from an alternative app marketplace, that uses a marketplace-specific login for account, download, and commerce features. Your app is an education, enterprise, or business app that requires the user to sign in with an existing education or enterprise account. Your app uses a government or industry-backed citizen identification system or electronic ID to authenticate users. Your app is a client for a specific third-party service and users are required to sign in to their mail, social media, or other third-party account directly to access their content. So implementing Apple sign in guarantees compliance but is not mandated per se.
