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.

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
I made an iPhone App with Xcode. The devices setting is set to "iPhone". But in iTunes Connect it is rejected because it doesn't run on the iPad.
That is weird because it is an iPhone app, but when I checked it in Xcode, I can run it with the iPad simulator,however I think that normally this is not possible with an iPhone app.
I have added pictures to make my question clearer:
So what is gone wrong and how can I fix it?
EDIT:

Thanks all, I Found the problem/solution:
In my info.plist there was an extra row called supported interface orientations(iPad) where the portrait mode was added.
I have no idea how this got added here but when I removed it, the problem was solved.
From the Apple iOS App Store Review Guidelines (https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/):
2.10 iPhone Apps must also run on iPad without modification, at iPhone resolution, and at 2X iPhone 3GS resolution
Basically, if you set an app to "Universal" it will have iPad and iPhone versions of the UI and will appear in the search results for both. If you set it to iPhone only, it will still be installable on iPads, but it doesn't appear in the search results by default. Additionally when a user does install it on an iPad it will just scale up the UI to best fit the screen. You cannot prevent your app from running on iPads.
Every app can run on the iPad no matter if it is supported or not. The option you have in Xcode is if you want to configure it to look good on the iPad using it's own storyboard. If you configure it for both iPad and iPhone your app fill get a + in the right corner of the price on the App Store and show up on iPad searches. However if you don't configure it to support iPads it'll not show up on searches of the Apple App Store, unless osmose selects iPhone only. You can easily submit your app to the App Store, without it being rejected my friend.
Hope that helps. Keep coding.
Nothing is wrong here , you can do this in debug mode for development purpose. Even you can run it on your iPad device from xCode. Don't worry about it, nothing wrong here.
I recently pushed an application to appstore. Now i have no idea why, but it says that its compatible with ipad too. In Deployment info i picked IPhone only. How is this possible and how can i change this fast.
Thank you
Even if you have chosen iPhone in Deployment info. The app will still get install in iPad. Here are list you can chose in deployment info.
Universal :- These apps are designed to work on both iPhone and iPad.
When running on an iPad, these apps confirms to the larger screen of iPad as well as screen of iPhone.
iPhone apps :- These are apps designed specifically for iPhone. These apps can still run on iPad. However they will run on iPhone compatibility mode. There are some apps that utilize unique features of the iPhone such as ability to place phone calls. These apps will be unavailable to iPad.
iPad :- Designed specifically for iPad. Cannot install on iPhone.
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.
I have the application. This application supports iPhone only, but I can launch it on iPad. In itunesconnect I see "Your binary doesn’t support iPad. The screenshots or app video preview for iPad won’t be shown on the App Store."
So as far as I understand I shouldn't see screenshots for iPad, but I should see the application in App Store (when I look at it from iPad).
But when I search for my application in iPad I can't find it there (but for iPhone everything is OK). Why?
When search app in ipad version app store there are two categories: ipad only and iphone only. You'll find your iphone only app in iphone only category.
to change category there is navigation item button the left most one
If your application supports only iPhone in your project's Devices in General Tap then it will be available only for iPhone devices in the AppStore. You can build and run your project in iPad either from xCode or with TestFlight but it will run as if it was an iPhone app in x2 or x1 mode depending on the iPad's screen resolution.
