My app is iphone only and will not work on the ipad. However for the submission, even though my XCode "Devices" is set to iPhone, in the itunesconnect distribution, I do not see an option for making it iPhone only. Does my app need to support both?
iPhone only app
As the guidelines note, your app _must_run on iPad in 1x/2x emulation mode.
Otherwise, no, Universal support is not mandated.
All iPhone apps can run on iPads. The iPad has sort of an iPhone emulation mode where it shows the app blown up to iPad size. Your app must be able to run in this mode on an iPad or it may be rejected.
> in the itunesconnect distribution, I do not see an option for making it iPhone only. That will have been done in your app.
How would this mode be set? Is it on the iPad itself?
No, it just works. If you download an iPhone-only app to an iPad, it will run in the iPhone emulation mode.
The comments on this post are more than 5 years old. In latest apps, is there a way for the app to be not available in the App Store for the iPad and only to be available for iPhones ?
