Is your app ready for iPhone Duo and iOS 27?

iPhone Duo goes on sale on October 23, 2026. From April 2027, every App Store upload must be built with the iOS 27 SDK — and apps built with it do not launch without the scene-based life cycle. Tell us about your app and we will tell you where it stands.

What you get

  • What breaks on iPhone DuoWhich of your screens will look wrong on the inner display, and in which poses.
  • iOS 27 readinessWhether your app, or the framework it is built on, is ready for the scene life cycle requirement.
  • What to fix firstThe order that removes the most risk for the least work.
  • A realistic effort estimateSo you can plan a release rather than guess.

What it is not

It is a written assessment based on your app’s public listing, what you tell us, and the stack you use — not a hands-on review of your source code. If you want that, or want the fixes made, we will say what it would take. There is no call required and no obligation.
