Xcode 7.3.1 app submission to the Appstore

Question

Does Apple still accept apps built using Xcode 7.3.1 (Swift 2.2) for the AppStore ?

Or does it have to be migrated to Xcode 8 (at least Swift 2.3 or above) ?

Answer 1

Currently you're still able to upload apps built with Xcode 7.3.1, but you have to use:

• Xcode 8.0 or higher

or

• Application Loader 3.6 or higher (bundled with Xcode 8)

for the upload process.

This was after the public release of Xcode 8 and the app was accepted for submisson. Tested on Mac OS Sierra (10.12.1)

Answer 2

Yes, Apple still accept. If it doesn't work in default way (archive, then upload to AppStore), try to export .ipa file and upload it via Application Loader.
