I'm developing non public app that have to hit App Store under "Private — Available as a custom app on Apple Business Manager or Apple School Manager" distribution method available only by my client's company. My app has failed review due to review on iPhone which never been tested for and UI is not fit iPhone. I don't have neither real need nor budget to tailor app to all other IOS device except iPad pro 12.9" 6th gen. How can I restrict app only for my target device to pass the review?
I Dont think so it is possible to restrict your app to run only on a specific device during the App Store review process. The team will test your app on multiple devices, including iPhones, to ensure that it meets the App Store guidelines And Support other devices too. However, You can use layout(AutoLayout) for UI So that it can fit All other devices.. refer to this link -- https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/AutolayoutPG/index.html maybe this can help you.
you can try this --
create SwiftUI file and try this --
struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { VStack(spacing: 20) { Text("Hey try this for Autolayout UI") .font(.largeTitle) .padding()
HStack(spacing: #spacingyouwant(eg,10,20,30,etc ) {
Spacer()
Text("Right")
.padding()
Spacer()
Text("Left")
.padding()
Spacer()
}
.padding(.horizontal, #howmuchpaddingyouwant(eg.30,20,40,etc)
Spacer()
}
}
}
What JaiRajput said, plus:
You should be able to restrict to iPad only:
Then, at launch, warn user that app is best designed for iPad 12.9.
But such restrictions are risky, and your app should be designed to fit various screen sizes.
Thank you all for quick answers.
