Include the release date and sw_vers in macos release notes
This is not exactly a feedback about the forums but I couldn't find a better location to ask this question. The macos release notes are hosted at developer.apple.com. For example, the macos 26.4 release note is here https://developer.apple.com/documentation/macos-release-notes/macos-26_4-release-notes. Would it be possible to include the release date in those release notes? Right now, it's hard to locate that information. It would also be useful to even include the sw_vers of that particular release in those release notes. For example: ProductName: macOS ProductVersion: 26.4 BuildVersion: 25E246 Having the sw_vers and the release date in the first few lines of the release note would be handy. The reason I went looking for the release date was because the corresponding sources for macos 26.4 hasn't yet been listed at https://opensource.apple.com/releases/. It usually takes a few days for that to happen, so I wanted to see how long it has been since 26.4 was released.

Xcode Cloud - "What to test" contents does not show up in TestFlight
I'm using Xcode cloud to create testflight builds, and I noticed that a few weeks ago these builds no longer contain any "What to Test" info. We include a TestFlight/WhatToTest.de-DE.txt file in our repo, and that file seems to be picked up correctly, at least the logs say Saving “What to test” notes Found notes for de-DE Any ideas of what I should be looking into or change?

App "Ready For Distrubution". Is there a way to find the app in the appstore FROM the "appstore connect"? (From my developer console)
I also Pressed "Automatically Release this version" Does this mean the app is already up? if yes, Is there a way to find the app "page" in the store, directly from my app store connect (developer console) page? I roamed through the different sections and could not find a way to go directly to my app store page from my app development pages (App information, app review, history, trust and safety pages, growth and marketing pages, monetization pages, nominations) non seemed to have a direct link to my released page?

Swift 6 Minimum Requirement for App Store
Good afternoon, all! I was wondering if there was a timeline for when the App Store and/or TestFlight will drop support for Swift 5? I know Swift 6 was released last year and historically App Store requires a certain SDK minimum for upload. I was wondering if any SDK update was on the docket that would effectively force applications onto Swift 6? Looking at past releases, I had estimated mid to late 2026, but I wanted to confirm? Swift 4 Released September 2017 Became the default SDK in Xcode 9 Strongly "encouraged" via the iOS 12 SDK in late 2018 Essentially "required" by early 2019 Swift 5 Released March 2019 Became the default SDK in Xcode 10.2 Strongly "encouraged" via the iOS 12.1 SDK in early 2019 Essentially "required" by late 2020 Swift 6 Released June 2024 Became the default SDK in Xcode 16 Strongly "encouraged" via the iOS 18 SDK in April 2025 **Essentially "required" by mide-late 2026 ?? ** Thank you in advance!
