My app uses Foundation Models and Apple Pencil. The app runs great through Xcode; however, due to Apple Pencil support, it has to be run on a physical device. However, Swift Playgrounds on iPad doesn't support iOS 26. I was just wondering if this is something that can be mentioned in submission notes. eg. The app needs to be compiled in Xcode but run on a physical device.” Or should we expect iPadOS 26 support for Swift Playgrounds by the time of submission? Thank you!

If Playgrounds doesn't support iOS 26 by the submission deadline are we able to ask for it to be compiled in Xcode and run on an actual iPad in the submission notes, like @Noah______ suggested?

I'm also in a similar situation with needing a physical device for Apple Pencil support.
