After building the app for TextFlight, I uploaded it.

After that, I initially received the following message via email.

"ITMS-90899: Macs with Apple silicon support issue - The app isn‘t compatible with the provided minimum macOS version of 11.0. It can run on macOS 12.0 or later. Please specify an LSMinimumSystemVersion value of 12.0 or later in a new build, or select a compatible version in App Store Connect."

So I added "LSMinimumSystemVersion" to info.plist, increased the version, and uploaded it again.

I received an issue email like the above.

The app has supported Mac (Designed by iPad) so far.

This time, this issue occurs after building in Xcode 16.0 / MacBook OS 14.6.1.

The app being built supports at least iOS 14.

We cannot uncheck it because we must support "Mac (Designed by iPad)" in the future.

This issue did not occur in the initial upload and distribution.

It occurred after deleting all files in the ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData path and rebuilding the project.

Is this an Xcode bug that will be fixed in the next update? Or is there a separate solution?

I'm seeing the same issue. My previous build worked with no warnings and my latest submitted build is receiving the warning with ASC reporting the app as no longer compatible...

I have the same problem. App Store Connect says app is not available in the Mac App Store and I can't install the app via TestFlight either, building via Xcode on the Mac works fine.

Is there any news?

I am using an Intel Chip and my Mac is from 2019 with MacOS 15.0.1, Xcode 16

My app had been built without any warning until I updated my Xcode to 16

Luckily I found this post. As least Apple may knows about this issue for now.

I've opened a support call with Apple and have included a link to this thread to try to demonstrate it isn't just an individual problem. Upgrading to Xcode 16.1 RC hasn't made any difference, but as the issue seems to be something to do with some Apple post-processing on ASC I wasn't really expecting it to....

I was having the same issue after updating Info.plist with LSMinimumSystemVersion everything seems working now.

<key>LSMinimumSystemVersion</key>
<string>12.0</string>

Xcode 16.0

I've started getting these issues in the last week. If I archive and upload the same codebase (reverting to previous commit) that was previously OK, I now get this issue ("The app links with libraries that aren’t present in macOS: /usr/lib/swift/libswiftCloudKit.dylib"). Seems like it must be a change on the App Store Connect side -- or possibly caused by a macOS software update (since the version of Xcode I've been using is unchanged - Xcode 16.0). I'm stumped.

Same here - for weeks.

Tried not to use Xcode Cloud, uploaded the archives the old fashioned way. Same problem.

I was dealing with that issue caused by Xcode 16. I switched back to Xcode 15 for now and it started working again.

I recently experienced some issues with App Store Connect, but after it started working again, I uploaded a new version of the app. Interestingly, without any special actions on my end, the newly uploaded version is now marked as macOS-compatible. Since it’s still under review, I’m not entirely sure if the issue is fully resolved yet, but I haven’t received any related issue emails so far. I’m hopeful that once the review is complete, the app will appear again on the macOS App Store.

It seems that this might have been an issue on the App Store Connect side.
