We have an app for VisionOS that is available on the Vision Pro App Store. We are releasing the same app (same SKU) on the iOS App Store next month.

We would like to make the iOS version available for pre-order, so that when following marketing links associated for our new app on iPad/iPhone, the user will be redirected to the upcoming iOS app.

I've never done a pre-order before, but I can't find the option in App Store Connect.

Is this because we have already launched the app, even though we haven't launched it on the platform we want to do a pre-order for?

Is there anyway we can setup a pre-order for iOS, while the same app continues to exist in the visionOS App Store?

Thanks

Apple support have informed me that despite being for different platforms, as the apps have the same SKU and the VisionOS app is already for sale, the iOS version cannot be made for presale. Disappointing, but understandable.
