AppGameKit Studio update needed to create IPA files for Apple App Store

[neiltking]

The current version of AppGameKit Studio for Mac no longer creates an accepted iOS export for the Apple Store. The error returned when trying to submit the IPA file is "Invalid bundle. The bundle xxx.app does not support the minimum OS Version specified in the Info.plist".

I have tried switching over to the beta version v2024.12.18 in Steam but sadly that produces the same error when trying to submit the IPA to the App Store.

I just wanted to add that this is time sensitive as certain apps need to be updated in order to stay available in the App Store and they only give you 90 days before removing them. The clock may run out before the next scheduled update for AppGameKit Studio is released. Thanks.

URGENT: One of my apps has now been removed from the App Store due to not being able to update it.

Hi!

I have the same problem. When will the Studio update be released? Is this project also not supported now?

Hi! I updated my app. They have all Tier 2 components and a player template (iOS) in their repository. You need to set everything up on the latest version of Xcode (16.4) and add your bytecode and media files. You also need to remove unnecessary settings in the manifest (...info.plist) - collecting user data, various unused SDKs, and so on. The template has a lot of trash, which is why AppStore constantly complains. In fact, building an app in AGK2 or AGK Studio is simply not a very convenient interface that uses XCode tools. Apparently, the iOS version of the SDK is hardcoded in Studio - this is the main problem. Manually building the player allows you to set it all up manually. In any case, I will think about changing the development environment, since these guys do not support their projects and "throw" them raw with many problems, and almost never respond to user requests.

As per #36 I am still getting this same issue, even after updating to the newly released version of AppGameKit Studio. I now have 3 of my apps (which are a big source of my income) removed from the Apple App Store due not being able to update them. More will be removed soon.

Is there anyone working on this? Or can acknowledge it and offer a timescale for a fix? Even categorising this ticket would at least let me know someone has seen it. Thanks.

Just had more apps removed from the App Store because of this, and more flagged as "will be removed soon". Is anyone checking this GitHub any more?

I have also tried winding back on Steam to v2025.03.18 (which identifies itself as v2024.05.20 inside AppGameKit Studio for some reason) but that is not accepted as it was still using iOS 17.2 SDK instead of iOS 18 SDK - which is now a requirement.
