App Store now asking for iPad screenshots for iPhone only app

1

Running AppStudio 8.5.8.3. The previous build that was uploaded to the App Store did not require iPad screenshots but now Apple is asking for iPad screenshots before I can submit for review. Nothing has changed in the app other than some minor text info. Why would Apple now be requiring iPad screenshots since this has been the iPhone-only version of the app?

I have always had a separate iPad version of the same app that is designed for that device, separate from the iPhone version. Is there a setting that is now required in the config.xml that targets only the iPhone and not iPads? Other than ‘platform name=“ios”’?

Thanks.

John,
To avoid writing apps for the iPad I put this in my config xml file:

    <preference name="orientation" value="portrait" />
    <preference name="target-device" value="handset" />

Hope this works for you.

Thank you, falcon. That did the trick.
From further research, it seems possible that Xcode on the volt server was now including the iPad as a supported device for this app. That was not the case in the previous build.
All is well now.
Thanks again for your help!
