Because my app is going to show advertisements, it's supposed to target users 13 years of age and older.
So, I open App Store Connect and go to "Age Rating" -> "Edit". I'm presented with a questionnaire that mentions all kinds of stuff -- violence, gambling, unrestricted web access, etc.
In order to get my app's Age Rating to 13, I would have to select some of these categories. But my app will have none of that stuff, and I certainly wouldn't want any of those categories to be publicly visible if I did select them!
Question:
Is there an alternate method for setting an app's Age Rating, as it will appear on the App Store? Via Xcode maybe?
Thank you!

No, there is no other way. Rating property is required and has to be set in App Store Connect.
The rating of your app for the purpose of parental controls on the App Store. Note that while the rating is set for each platform version individually, the final app rating will be determined by the highest rated platform version for the app and will be displayed in the App Information section.

Your selections are converted into an App Store app rating as well as additional territory-specific app age ratings.
