I’ve created an iOS app that’s simply a collection of actions for the Shortcuts app (like Sindre Sorhus’ one), but I’m struggling to get it through the app review process.
Apple’s message #1:
Issue Description
The UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities key in the Info.plist is set up in such a way that the app will not install on the device used in review.
Review device details:
– Device type: iPhone 17 Pro Max
– OS version: iOS 26.3.1Next Steps
To resolve this issue, check the UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities key to verify that it contains only the attributes required for the app features or the attributes that must not be present on the device. Attributes specified by a dictionary should be set to true if they are required and false if they must not be present on the device.
My message #1:
The key “UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities” isn’t present in any of the targets’ build settings in Xcode, nor in “shortcuts 28-03-2026, 12.00.xcarchive” → “Info.plist”.
I’ve successfully installed and tested this app on my physical iPhone 17 Pro running iOS 26.3, a simulated iPhone 17 Pro, a simulated iPhone 14 Pro, and an iPad Pro M5. The minimum iOS version specified is 18.0.
Please advise.
Apple message #2:
Regarding guideline 2.3.0, we were unable to install the app on the device used in review.
To resolve this issue, it would be appropriate to check the UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities key to verify that it contains only the attributes required for the app features or the attributes that must not be present on the device. You can learn more about the UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities key.
We look forward to reviewing your resubmitted app.
I’ve searched online for this, and the only things I’ve found are people who really are using this key.
I’m hoping someone has seen this before or can give me a pointer.
Thanks.
