Greetings,


so I was adjusting an app to use color assets with named colors. Since my deployment target needs to be 9.0 I added an extension for UIColor and return a custom color for iOS < 11.

All seems fine when I build the app in XCode 11 against the iOS 13 SDK. Also uploading to Testflight is fine.

I tried to submit the binary to the App Store but I got informed by Apple that using a binary compiled with a XCode beta version is not allowed. If I build it against iOS 12.4 SDK in XCode 10.3 the dark mode is not activated at all, even on a phone that has the iOS 13 beta installed.


So I guess I have to wait until the GM version of XCode 11 is released, is that right?

I am a bit concerned about it because iOS 13 is scheduled for the 17th of September and of course I want to support dark mode as soon as possible.


Cheers,

Dominik

Yes you do have to wait until you have the Xcode 11 GM before you can build and deploy an app to the store. No beta builds allowed. You'll make it in time, as you will have the GM before the public gets iOS 13
