Nightmare. SceneDelegate / LifeCycle missing, app crashes, Apple already approved and released to Store

Description

Yesterday I tested a working copy of my app. When done, I upgraded to Golden Gate and Xcode 27.

This morning I used xcode 27 to distribute to Apple Store. I did not try to run the app before this. The app built fine. App Store deploy. Apple approved it. However, it does not ****** run. It crashes immedately. Since this SceneDelegate portion is missing and xcode 27 needs it.

So Apple has somehow approved an app that crashes immediately.

I'm stressed as hell right now. How do I make my RN 87.1 app support this new iOS 27 / macOS 27 SceneDelegate stuff?
