"may be". quite confusing right? at least updating age rating questionnaires is very easy and straightforward, and no need to submit new binary - i guess it would be easy.

yea weird. apple is really silent on this one.. why? help us pls.

@PeaceSeeker are you updating your app with a binary? or just submitting questionnaire to clear the label, thats all?

nothing. just radio silence. i tried calling Apple developer on the phone - they say all i need to do is to create a new version, but dun have to submit a new build. but others have different opinions. everyone is confused

@Claude31 my question is still the same. do we need to upload a new binary? it seems this email is sent to all developers. so suddenyl everyone is uploading a new binary? are u uploading a new binary?

Yea i feel you. this is the biggest question out there and apple is completely silent..

@s219 i literally called Apple yesterday and they told me there is no need to submit a new binary. just initiate a new version would do.. this is soooo confusing.

@KrystynaC i see your image. so just create a new version to access "App Info > update Age Rating" but do not need to upload or submit new binary right?

@crexon where does this pop up show? everyone is experiencing that when u update the age ratings without needing to submit binary, and the banner/flag goes away i just confirmed with my apps. there is no such pop up.

Huh? The Texas law is 1 Jan not 31 Jan. Also you don't have to submit a new version. Just add a new release and update the age ratings, I guess, before 1 Jan 2026

I just contacted APPLE DEVELOPER via phone from Singapore at 1:43 PM SG time zone. The advisor on the line confirmed: If you have this problem, create a new release version you do not have to upload a new binary you do not have to submit this new release for formal review just navigate on the left menu to General > App Information.. go update your age ratings once done the section will show Edited That's all. You have done your part To know if you have any pending actions, go to appstore connect website on browser Https://appstoreconnect.apple.com If there are no banners or alerts on the main page, you have nothing to worry about. TLDR: just add a new version so that you can edit your age ratings; but there is no need to submit it for full app review and there is no need to upload a new binary. if there is no banner or policy flag on your appstoreconnect account you dont need to worry or do anything

Really prefer not to re-submit because just want to focus on our work right now. If i dont see any banners or flags at all on our accounts and also have filled in all questions in the new age-rating section (but not yet release the app yet). it should all be fine right?

You can edit the questions by creating a new release without submitting the release for formal review. But I am not sure if that is enough to be considered as fulfilling the requirement. Anyone knows? In addition, for one of my apps, apple has auto computed the age rating and I found it to be accurate. So do I even need to add a new build and re-update age ratings?

two questions are still unanswered: Q1. If we do not submit a new binary and just leave the new age rating either I) auto computed by apple or Ii) updated manually by adding a new release without actually submitting the release for review Do these count? Q2. What happens if an app doesn't have new age ratings after 31 Jan 2026? Delisted? Or blocked from all future releases? Or can only submit after answering new age ratings?
