iphone : how to make iPhone App seachable in App Store for iPad device?

My app is and iPhone based App, and it can run on iPad device, though UI is designed for 640x960 device.
When I search the app in iPad, it will show no this app by default. There're two tab in the app store. One is iPad app, the other one is iPhone app. How could I make my app show on these two tabl?
Because changing app into universal take effort. Is any other methods ?
I noticed other app uses the same UI like me, but it can show on iPad tab.
No there is no easier way than changing it to universal, your app needs to be built for iPad to be displayed in the iPad app section.

Will iOS 6 Smart Banner for Phone app show on website if viewed on iPad?

I just released an iPhone app today. I have also implemented Apple's Smart Banners on my website.
If the app is ONLY an iPhone app (although it will run at 2x on an iPad, but is NOT a Universal app), should the Smart Banner be showing when the webpage is viewed on an iPad?
According to the docs (link above) the Smart Banner will determine if it should be displayed on the device.
Question: Should the banner be displaying for an iPhone app only when viewing the webpage on an iPad?
If you want to show the smart banner detecting iPhone vs iPad, insert the following code just before the tag:
<script>
if (navigator.userAgent.match(/iPad/i)) {
$('head').append("<meta name='apple-itunes-app' content='app-id=XXYYZZ, app-argument=ios-promo'>");
} else if (navigator.userAgent.match(/iPhone/i) || navigator.userAgent.match(/iPod/i)) {
$('head').append("<meta name='apple-itunes-app' content='app-id=PPQQRR, app-argument=ios-promo'>");
}
</script>
Since the script is executed before closing the tag, it will be executed as part of the page load and iOS 6 will recognize it.
I don't exactly get your question. If you mean 'will the Banner show up on an iPad?', then the answer is yes, the Banner for an iPhone-only (not Universal) app shows up on an iPad (if you meant 'should Apple change this behaviour?', then this is a subjective question).

Universal app to appear as an iPhone app in the app store

We currently have an iPhone app and would like to make it look decent on the iPad without having to click the 2x button. We've coded it to be a "Universal" app but we do not want it to show up in the app store under iPad since this is just a stop gap until we have our full, separate iPad app.
Is there a way to launch this so it only shows up under iPhone but when a user launches this from their iPad it will render it properly?
Thanks in advance!
No, it's impossible. A Universal app will automatically show up in both iPhone and iPad categories.
Not Possible but you can submit it as an iPhone app.
1.navigate to project navigator
2.select your project
3.select target > your project's name > summary
4.change the devices from "universal" to "iphone"

You need jailbreakers iPhone and use application "Custom Lock" from http://rpetri.ch/repo/
This may not be in the AppStore, because it violates the rules of Apple's applications that may be in the AppStore. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRFt_ttEwpA&feature=player_embedded

Does iphone 4 have automatic data persistence?

I loaded some app projects that I had been developing using the iPhone 3.1.3 Simulator. Now I got the 4.0 package, and for some reason when I hit the home button of the simulator to go the home screen and then go back to the app, it's in the same position as I left it. Is this now standard? What if I don't want it to do this? I'd rather have it restart every time.
What you're describing is fast App switching, which is new in iOS 4.
If you want your application to quit each time the user presses the Home button, add the UIApplicationExitsOnSuspend property key to your info.plist and set it to YES (check the box).
