I am trying to publishing my app in the App Store. My app is only for iOS Mobile. But when I try to added the app screenshots I found there is an iPad option.
Now, I want to remove the iPad screenshot option in App Store Connect.
I didn't find any solution.
In XCode, select your target and select the General tab.
From here, remove the iPad under the "Supported destination" section, by clicking the minus sign:
This will disable iPad support and remove the iPad screenshots tab from App Store Connect.
No way to do that without removing support for ipad users

My app is designed for iPhone, but it also works for iPad also. In Xcode, I have both iPhone and iPad checked under Deployment Info. But in the website the App Store of my app displays "Designed for iPad" and displays iPad screenshots first (you have to toggle to display iPhone screenshots). How can I changed this to "Designed for iPhone" and display iPhone screenshots first or just remove this completely? I have never specified anywhere that the app was designed for the iPad. This is Apple's doing xD.
I have another app in the App Store that has exact same settings in the Building Settings and General Settings in Xcode, that does not have this label "Designed for iPad" - it doesn't have this "Designed for X" label. I am now thinking that this bug is happening in new apps only. I published the new app with this bug last year. How do I remove this "Designed for iPad" label and display iPhone screenshots first?
In the appstore connect under the Pricing and Availability, I unchecked the Make this app available and now my iPhone screenshots show first and it removes the "Designed for iPad". It will also take about 1-2 hours to see the change in the appstore.
Edit (Thanks to Adam) Also, even when checking this off, the app is still available for iPad as seen in the image of my app when I view it on the app store.
I know couple of similar questions are asked before. But they are outdated with the XCode versions, as the XCode now seems to provide different / better features .
I have developed a Flutter app for both Android and iOS. My app target is mobile users and not tab or iPad users.
When I am publishing my app to Apple App Store, I am being asked to submit iPad 3rd Gen and 2nd Gen screenshots.
The app works in iPad, but the layout is not great. Alignment issues and similar UI matters are there.
I'm on XCode 11, is there a way to avoid publishing to iPad? I saw a tick box to uncheck iPad in XCode, maybe unchecking this will save me?
If there is no way to protect from being published to iPad, can I provide the not so good layout screenshots for now? Will they pass the review? In this case I can fix the layouts in next release.
In Xcode
Choose your project from the Project Navigator
Choose your app target
Choose the "General" tab
In the "Deployment Info" section, check only the iPhone device (uncheck iPad)
Xcode 12.4 Update
Project -> App -> Deployment -> Targeted Device Families -> Select iPhone

Hello all :-)
I want to release an iPhone/iPod Touch only app. However, I know iPad users can still download the app from the app store, which is fine by me. I was simulating my app on simulator to see how it would look like on an iPad. When I simulated it, the app looked terrible: the layout was not the same as the iPhone version, some labels were colliding and buttons were "cut" out of the screen.
I want iPad users to have the same view as an iPhone. I believe a 1x/2x button would appear on the screen in that case. How can I do that?
Any help/advice would be really appreciated!
Thank you :-)
When you upload your app to the App Store it will also allow iPad users to download the iPhone version of the app. This will have the 1x/2x button you are looking for.
However if you test your project on the iPad simulator before you upload the app, it will not be the same iPhone version of the app that the iPad users will see. Instead the simulator will run an actual iPad version of the app which is not what your looking for.
In your project settings, set your target device to iPhone only. Upload the app. When iPad users download the app they will get the iPhone only version with the 1x/2x button for the iPad.
In your project settings, make sure the "Devices" settings is "Universal" (this is under "Deployment Info"). If it was not before, you may have to make some layout adjustments.
Use Autolayout for fixing the design issues
in storyboard right pane -> attribute inspector -> simulated metrics-> select inferred in size for all controllers
You should be seeing this in the simulator (note the letterboxing on all sides):
And your build settings should show 1 as the target device family:
If not, you are iPad-native and that's the source of the trouble.
We've created an iPad-App in Cordova(Phonegap) and the client want us to put it in the Appstore. Everything was setup but when we clicked on the Submit-Button in iTunes Connect, we get asked to upload Screenshots for iPhone too. But the App should be iPad only.
Where can i define that?
In Xcode, you can go to your project settings and change the device target from Deployement Info, which is under General tab.
In itunesconnect under screenshot section you need to select iPad as shown in image. and in Xcode project deployment info set device to iPad
I am new to iOS development and the response to this question may seem obvious for some experimented developers. If I create an application that targets iPhone, do I really need to include views also for iPad before submitting the applicatio to Apple Store?
No, you can target only the iPhone if you want. Or you can target specifically the iPad. Finally you can create a Universal app that targets both.
It's your choice. You define what you're targeting in your project.
AFAIK You need to submit the screenshots for iPad as well even you are submitting app for the iPhone. I am talking about the itunesconnect while you are submitting. I have experienced this myself when submitted app for iPhone only and was mandatory to add iPad screenshots.
Specifically to Targets or Views in your xcode. NO you don't need to add any extra view, only the views for your target. In case of keeping app universal you could add views for iPhone and iPad.
For taking different screenshots, you don't need to add different views but instead you can use simulator to take all variants of screenshots.
I recently tried to submit a app to iTunes with screenshots for iPad and the binary was only for iPhone.
This is what they informed me.
Your binary doesn’t support iPad. The screenshots or app video preview
for iPad won’t be shown on the App Store
If you target your app to be Universal you will need both, and if you only select a device, iphone example you don't need for ipad.
For universal you need to submit both otherwise the one you set target will be enough
