Properly Indicating Required Device Capabilities

If your app requires certain hardware features to run properly on a user’s device, you need to add a list of those requirements to the UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities key in your Info.plist file. However, you should only add keys for features you must have. Setting a key to false is not the same as leaving out the key. When you set a key to false, you are instructing your app to run only if the device does not have the requirements. Ensuring that you have properly set your UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities key is important so that users don’t install your app on a device that lacks the necessary hardware. You can learn more about properly indicating specific hardware requirements in your Info.plist file by reading Understanding the UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities key .

New App Status Indicators Added to Help Track Binaries Submitted in iTunes Connect

We’ve added two new status indicators to iTunes Connect: “Upload Received” and “Invalid Binary.” These new statuses give you a more precise indication of the state of your app when you submit your binary through Application Loader. Upload Received means that your binary has been received through Application Loader but has not yet completed processing into the iTunes system. Invalid Binary means that your binary has been received through Application Loader but did not meet the requirements of iTunes Connect.
