Hi, I have a completely new release of my app coming out with a new tech stack. I noticed that only 1% of my users were on iPad so the new app was not created to be 'compatible' with iPad including how it looks on iPad. Can I release this new version of the app only for iPhone? Or because it was previously available for iPad I have to release for iPad as well? Really appreciate any support/guidance on this. Thank you!
Can I remove iPad support from my app on a new release?
App will have to run at least in compatibility mode.
Deselect iPad in Deployment info, that should do it.
I think however that you will still have to provide screen captures for iPad.
I have the same problem - no need for the iPad version and Apple reviewers rejecting the app due to scaled screen appearance on that device. I want to remove the iPad capability in my app, but Apple is not letting me to do that. After unchecking iPad option in Xcode, when using Archive to send the app to Apple, I get an error and a pointer to this app note: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#qa/qa1623/_index.html
It is not possible to remove support for existing devices. The only way is to create a new iPhone-only app.
I had the same problem before My ios app built on Unity ios from player settings build target change only for iPhone. After unity build open x code because you have to build in x code also from Supported Destinations remove other platforms only iPhone should to stay there. Also check out previous release rejected notes because if you uploaded any iPad resolutional images remove them all then add last built app from test flight if you dont have other targets automatically disappear iPad section.
I have the same issue, I don't have the time and resources to support iPad, I wish that I could though. How can I remove support for iPad as it's affecting my ability to be compliant with the UIG, which I don't want to do? Thanks
I have the same problem, I can't remove the iPad, although my latest version is only for iPhone, now I'm tired of uploading versions, and the iPad tab won't be removed, and the app is being rejected, does anyone know how to solve this?
