Visibility of Universal app on iTunes for iPhone and iPad - ios

I have just release a Universal app for iOS, I am able to see the Universal app in iPad apps store but I cannot see the same app in iPhone app store.
My question - Is there a Time difference for visibility of app on iPad and iPhone app store ?
How long does it take to get the app visible in iPhone app store ?

Apple has to update the caches for iTunes, it can take between minutes and a day for it to appear.

Thanks guys,
I can now see my app on both the device iPad and iPhone. It was just matter of time. It takes time to get our app visible on both the device app store, depending on the traffic.

Apple rejected my app because of iPad, but my app is only for iPhone

My app is a streaming player that I pushed to AppStore Connect
In Xcode, I don't check iPad :
And Apple said :
I tried despite everything to run it on iPad Simulator on Mac, and I found no crash. The button player is OK, both on iOS 12 and 13
What's the solution ?
Building for iPhone is not meaning that it is ONLY for iPhone! iPad users still can download iPhone apps (except they need some especial feature of the phone like CoreTelephony) and Apple's testers always test apps on iPad. So try to fix the bug (that is probably not related to the device). The issue is that you Play button is not working, not the device.
you are providing screenshot for iPad also in iTunes connect to make sure if your app is only iPhone then you must add a screenshot for iPhone no need to add a screenshot for iPad just leave them empty

iPad App Store link not showing iPhone apps

I am trying to make a button to link to my other apps on the App Store on an iPad. My other apps are all for iPhone; this app I am working on is the only app I have developed for iPad. Opening the app store on an iPad normally and doing a search allows the option to select iPad only apps or iPhone only apps, but when I use a link to go from my app to the app store, I get no results because it looks like it is only displaying iPad apps and I only have iPhone apps to display.
Is there a way to make the app store show iPhone apps from a link, or is not being able to view iPhone apps from a link just an App Store "feature"?
Thanks!
Iphone Apps are not shown on iPads, by design.
You can show all your apps by replacing the App link with your name or company name, but still only iPad apps though.
You could also make your Apps Universal if it´s appropriate for your Apps.

What happens to a WatchKit app when iPhone is turned off?

Let's say I want to create a WatchKit app that shows the seconds for the current time.
What happens if iPhone gets turned off (e.g. battery drained), then user starts the app on the Watch device?
As far as I know, every (!) code runs on the iPhone (extension app), so my method that "fetches" seconds probably won't respond either. It is hard to imagine, but seems that I cannot get / display the current time on the Apple Watch if iPhone is turned off.
Any experiences on this?
Firstly, you can't do watch faces in the current developer kit.
All current WatchKit apps are extensions of iPhone or iPad apps. As you suggest, if the iOS device is not contactable, nothing will happen.
Apple say that native Watch apps will be coming later.
Your app will be killed immediately.
As you mentioned before, WatchKit Extension runs on iPhone, and you're absolutely right. There is only storyboard on Apple Watch.
So, the answer is very simple - "No code - no App"

Is it important for an app to work on both iPhone and iPad?

We've been working on a iPhone app for the last couple of months, an app that will only be targeted for the iPhone.
I have read through the Review Guidelines and spotted a potential reason for the app getting rejected under the 'Functionality' category.
"Iphone apps must also run on iPad without modification, at iPhone resolution, and at 2X iPhone 3GS resolution."
In xcode we have targeted the app for iPhone only. To my mind this means that the app should only be available to iPhone users in the App Store and shouldn't get rejected.
My question is - Are we going to face possible rejection if the app doesn't display propertly on an iPad? Eventhough it is only targeted for iPhone?
iPad owners can download and run ALL iPhone apps in the App Store. Your app must run correctly on an iPad in iPhone mode. You should test your app on an actual iPad device before releasing it to make sure there are no issues. In general, if your app works fine on an iPhone 3GS, you should be fine.

Apps does not show up in iPad

Hi All,
I have created an iPhone Application and have uploaded it in the Appstore. But when I search the app in iPad, it shows up in the search results, but does not open up the Application related information in the screen. It does not show up the screen to install the app in iPad.
It works fine in iPhone. But not in iPad.
Please help me....!!!!!
Check this post: How can I restrict my app for iPhone's only, excluding iPod touch?
It may happen due some restrictions you put in your project, for example "telephony" device capability will restrict the app from running on iPad and the application will not be even listed in the iPad app store.
