Summary
Apple is pushing App Store updates for some existing Apple Watch apps after beta users found they would not launch on watchOS 27.
The company told developers the compatibility sweep should be complete by Aug. 31, weeks before watchOS 27 is expected to reach the public in mid-September.
Apple said the problem stems from the arm64 slice in some watchOS apps, prompting it to reprocess and repackage binaries without requiring developer action.
Updated listings carry a note saying Apple made the change to prepare for watchOS 27 compatibility and that no new features were added.
