Apple SDK minimum requirements

Beginning April 24, 2025, Apple mandates that all apps submitted to the App Store use Xcode 16 or later and be built with the iOS 18 SDK, meaning that any app built with a previous version will be rejected. Developers using Expo must ensure their apps are compatible by using SDKs 50, 51, 52, or 53, as these can be built with Xcode 16 or later, with SDK 52 or later defaulting to Xcode 16 automatically. Those using SDK 51 or earlier are advised to upgrade to SDK 52 or higher to comply with Apple's requirements. To build apps with Xcode 16 or later, developers should configure their build profiles to use an appropriate iOS server image, and they can refer to the supported Xcode versions by EAS Build to ensure compliance.
