Can I submit iPhone X screenshots to the App Store now?

Solved ios app-store-connect appstore-approval iphone-x

As I submitted my app to the App Store with screenshots from the iPhone X in iTunes Connect, it got rejected with the following reason:

The screenshots contain inappropriate images. iPhone X is not released hardware.

This raised so many questions. Do they allow iPhone X design screenshots in the App Store now? Will they change the screenshot approving process in the future?

Apple never allowed apps with pre-release mentions on the store. Doesn't matter if it is a new device or OS version. – Sapowith 12/10, 2017 at 14:4

No sure how this raises questions - it seems pretty clear from the rejection notice. – Brigid 17/10, 2017 at 9:38

I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it is about publishing to an "app store" policies and procedures, rather than programming. See Are developer-centric questions about application stores on topic? – Mathewson 21/5, 2018 at 23:55

Taking screenshot from the simulator adds a placeholder for the notch along with rounded corners. Should the image be submitted with those? – Behavior 1/11, 2017 at 6:54

When you upload iPhone X screenshots to iTunes Connect, they will display with rounded corners. Better don't explicit cut's & corner, However iPhone-X screenshot are optional. – Amidase 1/11, 2017 at 7:6

@Amidase it says 5.8" is optional, but what would it show when the user opens it in iPhone X? Will it use 5.5" screenshots? – Ontario 6/1, 2018 at 5:23

@AshokKumarS Yes i believe so. – Amidase 11/1, 2018 at 3:58

Edit after the official release: The date seemed to be correct. As a general rule, you should wait until the specific device is released.

You should wait until Apple officially releases the iPhone X. (According to market news, Apple is going to release it on November 3, 2017).

yes they're not mention any kind of instruction on that now right? – Edmundoedmunds 12/10, 2017 at 6:23

@HariNarayanan - yes – Inn 12/10, 2017 at 6:37

Instead, Apple has announced that iPhone X pre-orders will begin on 27 October, with shipping to begin 3 November. theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/2475805/… – Edmundoedmunds 12/10, 2017 at 6:39
