PLA 2.3 Appstore Metadata Rejected

I uploaded a new version to Appstore. My app got rejected due to the following issue. i build and upload with xcode 9 official version. I got confused. (Metadata Reject = do NOT require a new binary)

PLA 2.3

Your app or its metadata contains references to a pre-release version of Apple software or hardware. Apps with compatibility references to a pre-GM version of iOS SDK or pre-released Apple hardware are not in compliance with the Apple Developer Program License Agreement.

Specifically, section 2.3 states:

"Apple may provide You with pre-release versions of the Apple Software or related services that constitute Apple Confidential Information and are subject to the confidentiality obligations of this Agreement."

Next Steps

Please remove all references to pre-release versions of Apple software and hardware from your app and its metadata.

Since your iTunes Connect status is Metadata Rejected, we do NOT require a new binary. To revise the metadata, visit iTunes Connect to select your app and revise the desired metadata values. Once you’ve completed all changes, reply to this message in Resolution Center and we will continue the review.

NOTE: Please be sure to make any metadata changes to all app localizations by selecting each specific localization and making appropriate changes.

I also ran into this issue. My Mac was set to auto update and it updated xcode to v 14 which sets minimum ios to v.16 which hasn't been released yet.

Oddly in xcode there is no indication of that. And developer support was unaware.

I was advised by app review person to downgrade xcode to v 13.4

My app was rejected today with the same issue.

In my case, I mentioned in the What's new section that I made performance improvements and bug fixes for iOS 15 but it wasn't released yet officially.

I just had my app rejected as well.

It was not because of iPhone X, but because I stated in my "What's new section that it was "Updated for iPhone X, XS, XS Max and XR" but the XR has not been officially released yet.

Just found a post on another forum about mentioning iPhone X in the "What's new" causing issues.

I have the same, so i'll post back if that works out...

*Edit - This was it for me. Just remove any reference of 'iPhone X' or whatever 'pre-release' features/products from your app store descriptions.
