Upgrade mPaaS 10.2.3 to Pass Xcode 16 App Store Review - Mobile Platform as a Service - Alibaba Cloud - Mobile Platform as a Service

Background

Starting April 24, 2025, Apple requires all apps submitted to the App Store to be built with Xcode 16 or later. For details, see the official Apple announcement. Additionally, Xcode 16 no longer supports debug builds for devices running systems earlier than iOS 15. For details, see the Xcode 16 Release Notes.

Current status

mPaaS supports Xcode 16 in baseline version 10.2.3.59 and later. If you use baseline 10.1.68 (deprecated) or earlier, upgrade to the latest 10.2.3 version. Systems earlier than iOS 13 are no longer supported.

Upgrade the baseline

Choose an upgrade method based on your current baseline version.

Current baseline is 10.2.3 main baseline

First, see mPaaS 10.2.3 Compatibility with iOS 18 to upgrade to the latest 10.2.3 baseline and perform the necessary adaptations.

Current baseline is a custom baseline

If you use a custom baseline, join the DingTalk group (ID: 145930007362) or submit a ticket to consult with technical support about switching to the 10.2.3 baseline.

Upgrade methods

Upgrade using CocoaPods

Follow these steps to install the latest SDK for version 10.2.3:

Verify that the mPaaS component version in your Podfile is 10.2.3.
Run the pod mpaas update 10.2.3 command.
If the command returns an error, update the plug-in by running the pod mpaas update --all command, and then retry.
Run the pod install command.
