About 1 week ago, I wanted to submit my App for review and I found this thread while trying to solve the impossible (5.5" screenshots of my app, which needs iOS 17+).
I decided to not fake these screenshots somehow, but created an image with Photoshop, consisting of a white background and the text "Devices with this screen resolution are not supported.
Minimum requirement: iOS 17."
My App was rejected because of some other rules.
Yesterday I requested the App
review again and guess what:
Screenshots of a 5.5" iPhone aren't required any more! I don't know, if Apple did a regular cleanup because of the iOS18 launch, or if my "screenshot" caused the removal, but finally they recognized, that it doesn't make sense to request screenshots of an antique device...
