Xcode16 support

I don't see a timeline for Xcode16 adoption yet. However, based on past experience, Apple usually provide a deadline by the end of April. Do we have a tentative timeline for Xcode 16 (Apps uploaded to App Store Connect must be built with Xcode 16)? This will help us plan our delivery.

That's just a guess…

  • Xcode 15 was released on 9/18/2023
  • it became mandatory on April 29
  • which was announced on Feb 6

  • Xcode 16 was released on 9/16/2024
  • So, if the same planning applies, we should have an announcement pretty soon (just before next week event ?)
  • with a deadline by end of April 2025

But that's just my personal guess, we'll see.

In such a case, the best for you would be either:

  • if you need to publish in the next 2 months, plan to have a version ready on Xcode 15 by mid April, just in case
  • or switch now to Xcode 16 (that should not require major changes to your code anyway).
