It’s more than just Apple Podcasts. Similar to how your website needs to be browser compatible, your podcast feed needs to be compatible with services (platforms) that read podcast RSS feeds. If your feed can’t be read, it will most likely be skipped and not be included in other podcast apps and sites.
Things can change over time as you add more episodes, requirements evolve, etc. Even warnings can cause problems for RSS readers. Cast Feed Validator will check and notify you of any warnings and errors found. However, it is your responsibility to solve any problems.
