Summary
Xcode 27 Release Candidate is now available, and Apple has begun accepting App Store submissions built for iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27, tvOS 27, visionOS 27 and watchOS 27.
September 14 is the official rollout date for those operating systems, giving developers a short window to finalize updates before the public release next Monday.
macOS 27 will drop Intel and Rosetta support, making Apple silicon-only builds mandatory; Apple told developers to switch Xcode architecture settings to arm64 and resubmit apps.
April 2027 is the next compliance deadline: new uploads to App Store Connect must use the latest OS 27 SDKs, while developers also need to complete new age-rating questions and refresh product-page assets.
