App Store Mac Catalyst warning; asking for a minimum version of macOS that doesn't exist

While I'm keen on being on the latest version of macOS, I'm having trouble meeting the requirement that my app can run on a version of macOS that doesn't exist :)

  • I'm using Xcode 15.2 (15C500b), targeting iOS 17.2.
  • I've elected to have the App Store choose the minimum version for Catalyst. I've also tried selecting a version.

ITMS-90899: Apple silicon Mac support issue - The app is not compatible with the provided minimum macOS version of 14.2. It can run on macOS 14.4 or later. Please specify an LSMinimumSystemVersion value of 14.4 or later in a new build, or select a compatible version in App Store Connect. For details, visit: ...

Is there something I could be doing wrong to prompt this behaviour?

The two libraries I'm using are Alamofire and ****, both of which have ancient version requirements and shouldn't be ticking this to 14.4.

I continue to receive this error on every build upload however it hasn't stopped TestFlight from working or my app from being approved 🤷‍♂️

We've starting get this warning all of a sudden a couple of weeks ago as well. It says we start 13.0, but it claims it really requires 13.3 -- have not been able to determine what changed on our end to prompt such a new warning.

I've checked all 3rd parties dependencies and none of them have changed. I am wondering if its related to us recently bumping up the minimum iOS version from 15 to 16.4, like as if maybe it implicitly bumped the version of Catalyst?
