App "Ready For Distrubution". Is there a way to find the app in the appstore FROM the "appstore connect"? (From my developer console)
I also Pressed "Automatically Release this version" Does this mean the app is already up? if yes, Is there a way to find the app "page" in the store, directly from my app store connect (developer console) page? I roamed through the different sections and could not find a way to go directly to my app store page from my app development pages (App information, app review, history, trust and safety pages, growth and marketing pages, monetization pages, nominations) non seemed to have a direct link to my released page?

Swift 6 Minimum Requirement for App Store
Good afternoon, all! I was wondering if there was a timeline for when the App Store and/or TestFlight will drop support for Swift 5? I know Swift 6 was released last year and historically App Store requires a certain SDK minimum for upload. I was wondering if any SDK update was on the docket that would effectively force applications onto Swift 6? Looking at past releases, I had estimated mid to late 2026, but I wanted to confirm? Swift 4 Released September 2017 Became the default SDK in Xcode 9 Strongly "encouraged" via the iOS 12 SDK in late 2018 Essentially "required" by early 2019 Swift 5 Released March 2019 Became the default SDK in Xcode 10.2 Strongly "encouraged" via the iOS 12.1 SDK in early 2019 Essentially "required" by late 2020 Swift 6 Released June 2024 Became the default SDK in Xcode 16 Strongly "encouraged" via the iOS 18 SDK in April 2025 **Essentially "required" by mide-late 2026 ?? ** Thank you in advance!

iOS Sdk Version vs iOS Version
When you update XCode it updates the sdk version, but do changes in the sdk take effect for apps running in a lower iOS version or only the corresponding iOS version or higher? For instance, https://developer.apple.com/documentation/ios-ipados-release-notes/ios-ipados-18_1-release-notes Do changes listed in the notes only happen for apps that are running on iOS 18.1 devices or on any device with the app compiled against the 18.1 sdk version? Am I the only person who finds the docs totally unclear on this?
