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.

AFAIK, you can't.

Welcome to the forum.   I already tried to cut it into the right form Don't do so. The way to do it is to use directly screen shots of the adapted simulator. AppStoreConnect tells you what are the required sizes (other marked as optional). You only have to provide 6.9" (or 6.7") for iPhone. Select the right simulator (such as 17 Pro max) and ctrl-S in the simulator. You will get the correct format. You can provide more sizes optionnally.

Reply to What would you say to someone who is new to iOS?
You get lost when you try what ? If that may be useful, my advice is to get focused. You have learned the basics (of Swift, SwiftUI, Xcode…). Even if you are not yet an expert, that is good enough for second step. Focus: Imagine a simple app that you would be pleased to use for yourself (think of some pain points you have in your daily life that an app could help solve). Then go and develop the app. Going through all the development steps will let you put in practice what you have learned and then better understand how all this works. For sure you will face issues you cannot manage: ask for help on the forum. Once you app is completed, you will see you have learned a lot. And be ready to think of an app for the AppStore. Good luck.

Uploading a new release after completing the questionnaire on age ratings seems to be all that's needed. But the age ratings questionnaire must be fully answered.

Reply to Final reminder: Answer the updated age ratings questions
I still received an email with the subject “Final reminder: Answer the updated age ratings questions,” Is it a message relative to a specific app ? It seems it is a general reminder that does not take into account whether or not your apps are already OK.

Reply to No response to bug fix approval request
I advise not to resubmit, that could create additional problems. Probably by this time there are a lot of submission, notably to adjust to age ratings requirement.

Reply to Apple's new Age Ratings: do I have to submit a new binary?
If all the check boxes in the 7 pages of age ratings are answered, I don't think you have to resubmit. Otherwise, yes. Can't you resubmit the same build as of August, just incrementing version and build bumber but no change to code ? You would then be safe to have all the time to complete the really ne version.

Reply to Final reminder: Answer the updated age ratings questions.
Received as well and do not tell which apps are concerned. This is the type of really stressful message. Looks like it was a very general email to all developers, probably for legal need.

Reply to Guideline 2.1 violation
In such a case (former rejection) it is wise to add the explanation in the message to reviewer in submission form. That helps a new reviewer to be fully aware of the context.

You don't need to submit. Just prepare for submission by completing in AppStoreConnect, but not submitting.

Please tell what is the exact size of the image you try to load (read dimensions in image file information). Is it a png image ?

If I understand your question correctly, administrativeArea in the returned CLPlacemark should give the state. Test for "TX"
