Summary

  • add a new English blog post about Apple’s April 28, 2026 Xcode 26 / iOS 26 SDK submission requirement
  • explain what the requirement changes for Capacitor teams
  • state that Capgo Build is already on Xcode 26

Why

Apple now requires App Store Connect submissions to be built with Xcode 26. We need a site article covering the requirement in Capgo’s voice without referencing Capawesome.

Validation

  • bun run ci:verify:web

41-44: Anchor the “Capgo Build is already on Xcode 26” internal claim to a source/date to avoid staleness.

The statement is likely true, but it’s a long-lived blog post and could become inaccurate as Capgo Build updates over time. Consider adding:

  • the “as of” date (e.g., publish date 2026-04-29), and/or
  • a link to a “native build list” / status page that proves the current Xcode version.

(Your post already has a “native build list” image + alt text at the top, so you may just want to link it into this paragraph.)

around lines 41 - 44, Edit the paragraph that claims "our current iOS build
system is already running on Xcode 26" to anchor it to a verifiable source/date:
add an "as of" date (e.g., "as of 2026-04-29") and include a link to the
existing native build status (the native build list image/status page referenced
earlier) so readers can verify current Xcode versions; update the sentence that
mentions Capgo Build/Xcode 26 to read with the date and a parenthetical link to
the status page or native build list image.

55-60: Tighten the closing sentence to avoid redundancy and keep it consistent with the earlier “Xcode 26 or later” wording.

Line 57 (“since April 28, 2026, older Xcode builds are no longer enough…”) is consistent in spirit, but since earlier wording is being corrected to “Xcode 26 or later”, the final takeaway should follow the same precision. (developer.apple.com)

Suggested edit (consistency)
-This is Apple’s normal yearly toolchain cutoff, but the enforcement date is real: **since April 28, 2026**, older Xcode builds are no longer enough for App Store uploads.
+This is Apple’s normal yearly toolchain cutoff, but the enforcement date is real: **from April 28, 2026 onward**, you need Xcode 26+ (with the required 26.x SDKs) for App Store uploads.

with a concise variant that explicitly says to update to "Xcode 26 or later"
(e.g., "If you build elsewhere, update your environment to Xcode 26 or later
before your next iOS release."), keeping the rest of the paragraph unchanged.

33-36: Reduce repetitive “If …” bullet starters (matches your static analysis hint).

The three consecutive bullets starting with “If” is flagged by your static analysis. It’s not wrong, but rewording improves readability and keeps the article in a polished “Capgo voice” style.

Suggested edit (bullet readability)
-- If you build locally on a Mac, you need Xcode 26 installed and selected.
-- If you use your own CI pipeline, your macOS runner image needs Xcode 26.
-- If you have native dependencies or older plugins, rebuild once on the new SDK and test a fresh archive before your next release.
+- For local Mac builds, you need Xcode 26 installed and selected.

- Around line 19-28: Update the article wording to match Apple’s precise
phrasing by replacing instances of “Xcode 26” with “Xcode 26 or later” and
replacing vague phrases like “older baseline” with an explicit phrase such as
“earlier than Xcode 26 / the matching SDK versions” (e.g., change the opening
sentence that starts “As of April 28, 2026, Apple requires…” and the paragraph
beginning “Starting on **April 28, 2026**, uploads built with the older
baseline…”), and ensure the sentence about SDKs reads “built with Xcode 26 or
later using the iOS 26 SDK (or matching SDKs for iPadOS, tvOS, visionOS, and
watchOS)” so all occurrences (including the Capgo Build note) use the exact
“Xcode 26 or later” phrasing.
