Application must be updated by the developer issue

Hi All,

I am facing with ****** issue, searched through many similar topics, but did not find solution, hope someone can help me!


Common information:

  • iOS VPN application
  • min. deployment iOS 15.0
  • Xcode 14.2
  • Testing on iPhone with iOS 16.0.2 / 15.5

Problem description

Application is builded, installed on iPhone and launched from XCode. After a new VPN configuration is added by application using NETunnelProviderManager. No errors are occurred during all this steps. However I can not enable VPN and in VPN settings I observe "Update required" message:

"Application must be updated by the developer before VPN can be connected"

I'd look at this thread: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/109780. It may be of some help to you.

Hi Mark,

That was the first one topic I read. I see there two solutions:

  1. Downgrade to minimal supported iOS. This solution does not suit me at all...
  2. Project targets' version consolidation. A have for all my targets the same iOS version, so it does not help..

The issue could be related to your Extension minimum deplayment and your host applicaitions minimum deplayment difference.

Hi Alex! Did you find a solution? I tried all methods on internet but still unsuccessfully.

@Alex_Bu, are you here?

I have the same problem. Has anyone found the cause and solution for this issue?

Hi @Alex_Bu, I'm having this same issue now. No solution has worked for it so far. Were you able to resolve it? If so, how did you do it?
