iPhone only app rejected for not running on iPad

Question

I received the following from Apple. I tried fixing the constraints for just iPad but I can get the scroll bar to come on top. How would I fix this? It is an iPhone only app. Thanks

We noticed that your app did not run at iPhone resolution when reviewed on iPad running iOS 10.2. Specifically, we were unable to register as the sign-up option was behind the amount section.

We've attached screenshot(s) for your reference.

Next Steps

Please revise your app to ensure it runs and displays properly at iPhone resolution on iPad.

For information on iOS device screen sizes and resolutions, please see the iOS Human Interface Guidelines as well as the Points versus Pixels in the View Programming Guide for iOS.

Solution 1

This is not an issue with supported devices - even if the iOS app is for iPhone only, it has to run on iPhone resolution on an iPad. This is the same sizing (or very, very close) as running on a iPhone 4 simulator, based on the screenshots.

Fix the constraints for iPhone 4 and it will be approved.

Solution 2

I had the same issue with my app.

My application was intended for iPhone and not for iPad, but the apple review team told me this:

It would be appropriate to revise your app to ensure that it runs on iPad at iPhone resolution.

My solution:

Optimize the user interface for iPhone 4

I hope it helps.

Solution 3

I got the same issue with my app which had the Deployment Info set to iPhone. Did they attach a screenshot with their response?

The issue with mine was that the constraints weren't set up properly. On smaller screen sizes (which the 1x setting on the iPad shows) my buttons were pushed together.
