Is AgeRangeService / Declared Age Range capability required for a utility app?

Hello,

I need clarification regarding the new Declared Age Range requirement.

App Name: Hanna Lab

Our app is a utility/scientific BLE app that connects to instruments, reads measurement values, and displays logs in a table or a Graph. We do not collect age data or provide any age-restricted content.

I would like to confirm:

  1. Is AgeRangeService mandatory for an app that does not use age-based features?
  2. Do we need to add the Declared Age Range capability in Xcode → Signing & Capabilities for such a utility app?

Thanks for any guidance.
