Reply to [Texas SB 2420] How to Retrieve Parental Consent Status
@DTS Engineer thanks for the information. you must build your app against the iOS 26.2 and iPadOS 26.2 SDKs and later, with Xcode 26.2 (17C52) and later But a clarification needed: is using Xcode 26 required only to access all API ? Can you confirm that to keep the app updatable on AppStore, it is enough to update meta data on age ratings and submit the app, even if compiled with Xcode 16 ?

Reply to Apple’s age rating deadline: will apps be blocked after 31 Jan 2026?
What is not clear is what actually happens after that date. My understanding is that you will not be able to submit a new release, but they don't tell the app will be blocked. So I fear it is case B. That's how I interpreted, to be on the safe side.   if you can't provide a new build yet In fact, there is no need to develop a new version. You can simply re-archive the former version of the app with incremented build and version numbers, complete age ratings information and then submit with this "new" build. In the what's new field of AppStoreConnect, simply say: minor bug fixes. Given the many times this question is raised on the forum and how much it worries developers, it would be great to have a comprehensive answer from Apple.

Reply to Final reminder: Answer the updated age ratings questions.( WHICH EMAIL IS IT?)
Anyway,WHAT APP IS IT? what is this GENERAL EMAIL? Should we ignore it? Yes, I do think it is a general email You should not ignore, as there is apparently a risk after jan 31 not to be able to resubmit. Unfortunately, they don't tell which app. To know which app, you have to go in appStoreConnect and select each app. If you need to update, you'll get a specific warning. See details here: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/809243?answerId=869488022#869488022 If so, you should update by resubmitting with the age information fully completed.

Reply to Texas's SB 2420: obligations depending on app rating ?
Yes, the email is sent to everyone apparently. But if you look at an app in AppStoreConnect, you will get a specific notification if you need to update. Here it is for one of our apps (in French, but does not matter) when all age information was not yet completed: I could see the age information (7 views) but could not update. I noted that information update must be done before January 31, 2026. So I submitted a new version (very limited changes), completed information (this time it was possible), incremented build number, and now message is gone:

Reply to Can't Edit Age Ratings in App Information Section of App Store Connect for released App Versions
I confirm what @SgDeveloper posted. Need to submit a new release. Read support answer here: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/796744 And if I read correctly, a change in ratings in the future will be considered a major change that require extra process. May be exactly the same, just increment version and build and note in what's new : information about age ratings.
