I've created an app that is very specifically designed to take advantage of iPad OS. the IPad version of the app is more expensive ( 3.99 ) because users get the full experience of what the app was designed for. We have an iPhone version but it's not designed to use multitasking etc. We felt the need to separate the two experiences into two separate products because eventually the iPhone version will need very specific things to be a better experience on just the phone. My issue is.. Apple is FORCING me to allow users to run my IPHONE version of the app on iPad.This is a terrible user experience and introduces bugs that are not apparent in the app when you use it normally on the iPhone.This version is not designed to run on the iPad. We have a version specifically for that. This arbitrary rule that all apps for iPhone HAVE to also run on an ipad and can be installed on an Ipad is absurd. If apple cares about letting IPad's desktop experience really shine with all the efforts they are making, then why are we ruining that experience by allowing users to install iPhone apps on their ipads that don't utilize multitasking features? I feel like this rule is outdated and needs to change NOW. Developers should have more choice on how their work is being presented to their clients. It's ridiculous that I go to the app store, see my iPhone app while on my iPad, and I troll own to compatibility,and it states the app is compatible with ipad. NO. ITS NOT compatible with ipad. What is your meaning of compatible Apple? Doesn't crash? Anything that isn't specifically designed for iPad should not say it's compatible with IPad. Even if the app does run on an Ipad, saying it's compatible is extremely misleading to consumers.
