I just found that creating the new version and editing the ratings made the warnings at the top of the screen go away. No Apple employee on here has offered the actual steps, specific information, or answers to any of our questions, so everyone here is just doing trial and error. If what I've done is wrong, then it's Apple's fault in two ways: They didn't explain this process correctly at all; The App Store Connect website removed the warnings when I made those new versions, so Apple's developers wrote it to do that. "App Store Connect Engineer" said this (it's the accepted answer): You'll be able to update your app's age ratings when you submit a new version of your app. "New version", not "new binary".

@mattn Go to App Store Connect. Click Apps to see the screen with all your apps' icons. Click one of them. At the top left, there's a white plus button in a blue circle. Click that. Give a new version number. If you're on 2.0.5, enter 2.0.6. Close that dialog. You have created a new release. Click App Information on the left-hand side. The button by Age Ratings that used to say "View" will now be "Edit". Click Edit. Make your selections and confirm the dialog. That's all you have to do, but you have to do it for all of your apps.You do not have to submit the new version, and you do not have to add a new binary. I can't see that your question needs an answer now since the steps you have to go through to fix this issue are actually quite easy. Apple made this a completely stupid process. Their emails were written horribly, and just created confusion. Well done, Apple... ¯_(ツ)_/¯

The App Store Connect Engineer's reply in August '25 links to this page, which clearly shows that App Information > Rating is not editable, and thus requires a new version of an app to be submitted. Why? Why do we have to submit a new version of our apps - I have seven on the App Store - just to add new ratings? (Changing existing ones, maybe, okay, but these are new ratings.) Does the App Review team actually check each and every app update to confirm that they adhere to the exact ratings you select? Really? This sort of obstacle really drives me nuts. There's no reason it needs to be this difficult.

So, just to confirm: Apple sent an email to developers with the subject: "Final reminder: Answer the updated age ratings questions". That email says: "We’re reaching out because you have not provided responses to the updated age ratings questions in the App Information section of your app in App Store Connect. If you don’t answer these questions by January 31, 2026, you won’t be able to submit app updates in App Store Connect." Right, so if we don't submit these new age ratings we cannot submit new app updates after January 31st 2026, but in order for us to change those age ratings we have to submit new versions of our apps? Am I really being told to build and archive a new version of each of my apps just to update the age ratings? This is what I currently see on one of my apps: so this is great... And, just to make it even more complex than it needs to be, the email also says this: "Please also note that the Texas SB2420 legislation goes into effect January 1, 2026. Under this law, making an age rating change to apps distributed in Texas would be considered a significant change. If you update your age rating after this date, you may need to trigger the significant change consent process." Which means that even if you don't need to submit a new version of your app because you haven't made any changes, doing so after January 1st 2026 will require you to "trigger" some other process? All this just to change the age ratings on our apps that are already on the App Store? Why not just let us change the age ratings and confirm that they apply to the version currently on the App Store?!

You can raise suggestions at: https://feedbackassistant.apple.com/ The Developer Forums aren't the place for suggestions.

@protodimbo Have you tried adding let _ = Self._printChanges() to the body of your view? Each time the view is drawn that'll print out what caused it.

No need to post a second thread on the same issue. You have one hour to edit your post once you've submitted it. If you're outside of that time, just reply to your original post. Don't clutter the forums. Reporting this as a duplicate.

No one here can help you. If you can't uninstall the profiles yourself (have you even tried? you don't actually say), then go to an Apple Store and ask for help there. These are the Developer Forums, where developers of third-party apps for Apple's platforms ask each other for hints and tips on coding. You're in the wrong place.

I doubt this would be allowed, and I doubt any developer would use their own account to publish an app they had no hand in creating. They would be open to various copyright and legal challenges, and they may have their account terminated by Apple. You should create your own Developer account, pay the fee, and publish the application on that account. Don't involve others.

You might want to go to https://developer.apple.com/support/ There's a contact section.

You haven't actually clarified whether your screenshots are the right dimensions. You've said: I already tried to cut it into the right form for example 6,5" for the biggest screen. What are the dimensions of the screenshots that App Store Connect is asking you for? A 6.9" iPhone 17 Pro Max, for example, should be 1320 x 2868. When you add those they will be resized by App Store Connect to fit all other iPhone sizes. What are the dimensions of the screenshots you're trying to upload? App Store Connect will tell you exactly what's wrong with your screenshots, so please copy that error message and paste it here (as text, not as an image, please).

Hi. These forums are for developers to ask for hints and tips on coding apps for Apple platforms. This isn't the place to grumble about an issue you're having with your iPhone. Your question is more of a product support one, so I'd suggest you ask it over at the Apple Support Forums. Thanks.

Well, that's your opinion. I've managed to release a number of Swift apps without seeing the issues you describe. I've got no idea why you can't organise your folders properly. What's the problem? You ask why it's no longer possible to do something, but you haven't really explained what it is that you're missing. You can still right-click a file or folder and create a new group, new group from selection, new folder, and new folder from selection. And you can drag files and folders onto the Project pane and choose how they're added. I don't understand what it is that you're having a problem with? Rather than posting here, why not raise feedback tickets and explain where you're seeing issues? Give Apple a record of the problems and a chance to fix them. You can do that at: https://feedbackassistant.apple.com/ then post the FB number(s) here. Also, Xcode 26 is out, so you could try that out and see if any of your issues are fixed.

When you say you needed to "download iOS 26.1" do you mean via the "Add Platforms..." button? Just want to be clear so that anyone else who happens upon this thread knows what the actual solution is. Remember to mark an answer as correct so everyone knows there's a solution to the problem. Thanks!

Not sure if this is the issue, but you don't have any Simulators listed in the "Other Installed Platforms" section. Click the "Add Platforms..." button and add the iOS 26.1 Simulator, and see if the device picker appears. If not, you might have to add a simulator in the Window > Devices & Simulators > Simulators tab. Hopefully this fixes it.
