ipa archived on macOS 11.4 cannot be installed

I get the error "The developer of this app needs to update it to work with this version of iOS." The files you archived on August 4th installed successfully, but the files you archived again today failed to install. Have the rules changed? I am currently updating to a new macOS, will this solve the problem?

For anyone to help you, you need to supply more information:

  • How are you installing the app?
  • What version of iOS is the device running?
  • What version of Xcode did you use to archive the app?
  • What version of the iOS SDK did you use to archive the app? The site Xcode Releases (https://xcodereleases.com) lists the SDK for each Xcode version.

I know that apps submitted to the App Store must be built with the iOS 15 SDK. I don't know if that restriction applies when installing an app on your own device.

Updating to the latest non-beta version of Xcode may solve your problem. At the very least you will be archiving with the iOS 15 SDK.
