How to submit Two binary(iPhone and iPad) files for same project in App Store?

Question

I have created Map application for iPhone and I developed same Map application on iPad too by my client requirement. Now I have same Map app project but two .ipa files one for iPhone and another for iPad.

I have already put iPhone version on iTune and it showing status "waiting for review"

1>Now I want to put my iPad version app on iTune with the same project name. How this can be achieve?

2>What Setting should I do in plist file and with xib files?

If there is universal app iPhone/iPad then in app store we can see both iphone and iPad app having same project name...So in my case what steps should I follow. Plz suggest

Solution 1

You can't upload two binary versions of the same app under the same name.

You either have to make a universal app (meaning iPhone/iPad app in one app) or submit under another name.

Solution 2

You can submit multiple apps from the same Xcode Project by using multiple Targets, and editing the Bundle ID suffix of each Target so that each Target has a unique Bundle ID. You might also want to change the Product name for each Target in the Build settings so that your apps will have different bundle file names.

Note that, unless the iPad version is different enough (uses iPad only APIs for instance) from the iPhone version, it has been reported that Apple might reject a nearly identical iPhone/iPad pair of apps and request that you submit a single Universal build instead.

Solution 3

If you wanted your iPhone and iPad project to be in the same app, you should have built it that way.

However, if you did specifically want a separate iPhone and iPad app, then you should make the difference clear in the names of each app.

There are many companies who have both iPhone and iPad apps on the appstore. Generally, the iPhone app is just called 'appName' and the iPad version is usually called 'appName for iPad'.

Examples of this are:-

• Skype and Skype for iPad

• Ebay and Ebay for iPad
