My client have asked me to translate my app to english.
They want an english version of the current app. They wanna release it at a different price tier internationally..
Would apple approve a separate version, or do i have to internationalize the current app?
In order for it to be at a different price tier, iTunesConnect is going to need a separate app upload. That doesn't mean that it can't be the same app, but with different resources, icon, name, etc.
You could make separate targets in the same app that bundle up the different versions. The same project could be used to generate them.

I finished working on one iPhone app, and my client wants to port it over to iPad.
Now I created another storyboard for the iPad UI in the same project, and have the iPad UI working and sharing some code with the iPhone code.
The project has one target, with devices supported as universal.
My question is: My client expects that I present him with two apps, one for iPhone and one for iPad, will this configuration work?
When I submit this to the app store, will it know to split it into two apps, or should I just create a separate project for iPad all together?
Thanks.
With your current configuration it will upload to the app store as one app, but for users logging in it will display the correct app depending on the device they use on the app store when they search for it.
So depending on if your clients wants two separate APK files or if they want two apps on the apps store:
If the client is requesting two separate apps you will have to split the project, unless there is an easier way that I am not aware of.
You can also explain to the client that with the current configuration the app will have a little plus icon on the app store to indicate that it is a universal app and will work on both devices, which will be determined by the device they use to download and open the app.
If they want to sell the app, again as far as my current knowledge allows, you will need two separate apps as you can not set different prices for it in the current configuration, this statement is under correction. Unless your client wants to sell both iPad and iPhone apps for the same price then you wont have an issue.
Hope this helps
No, it will not, because it's the same bundle ID, so in this case, in the App Store you'll have one universal application.
If you want to have two applications, you should create a new Xcode project that supports iPad only.
What you can do is to create different target, one for iphone and the other is for ipad. You can follow the answer on this question, it is quite good. Because you have 2 different target, you can have different bundle identifiers, specify different AppDelegate, but all the other code could be shared
I am developing several apps for AppStore, with different bundle IDs, but similar logic. Now I am working on a new concept, which covers all the logic from those apps into one common project. Hence, I would like to prepare a new app, that is intended to replace all the old apps. How can I ensure that?
To be clear, I want all the users to install the new app, run it, so that it can transfer data and functionality from old apps installed on user's device. How can I do that, so that all data and functionality will be kept depending on which old apps had each user installed, and Apple will be OK with such a change and behavior?
This is not possible, you will have to replace all the old apps with new once. You can't update the app bundle ID in a new version.
Is it possible to have the same identical app on App Store, but under two different developer accounts, and slightly different names?
I need to move an app from one dev account to another, but I would like it uploaded on the new account before removing it from the old one.
Anyone have experience with this?
The two apps will have to have unique and different iTunes Connect names and different Bundle IDs. The only sure way to determine whether or not this is possible is to submit the new app, and see if Apple approves it.
I've seen the same app "Smart Alarm Clock" by Arawella corp being sold both as a free version and as a paid version. They essentially have the same app twice in the app store, just with different icons. If a company that big can get away with that, you can probably too (paid and free version)
I have to get a certification for my app for government customers. So there will be two (similar) apps in the app store - regular (development) version and a certified (frozen) version.
My question is - what should be different in the new app?
- new app name (e.g. My Certified App)
- new bundle id (com.mycompany.my-certified-app)
- new push certificate for the server?
- new images?
I have never submitted a lite/full version app before, maybe this type of thing is all too common.
Thanks!
You just need a different bundle ID to make two apps (they'll need to have different names in iTunes too, but the name on the homescreen / in the project can be the same).
You can create a new target for your app, and that will give you a second info.plist. That lets you specify different bundle IDs for the two versions without needing to physically copy and paste the whole project.
However you may have trouble getting this approved by Apple if both apps are identical apart from the version number / certified status.
If one app is just for testing, can't you use TestFlight or something similar to allow your customers to try the app in beta before it's certified?
I would suggest adding "- Certified" to your app name. There are plenty of examples in the iTunes store of full versions, and "- Lite" versions.
In addition to the name, it is customary to have the app icon reflect the different versions.
SeeRoboKill, and RoboKill Lite as one example.
Can some one tell me if it is possible to submit two different iphone applications which has same Icon.png but have a different bundle name?
I am working on a travel guide app that is targeted for different cities. I want the users of different cities to download the app as per their cities. So I want to submit different apps for different cities(3 in my case).
User can also purchase any of these cities through in-app purchase. In that case the new purchased city would be unlocked in the app.
Here is my thing. I want the same icon for all the three apps. I can do away with different names for app store and bundle(home screen icon name).
But I am not sure if apple would approve/reject this app.
Can someone enhance this blur picture I have?
Would an altogether simpler solution not be to have the base app be free, with previews of the data; and then using in-app purchase to fill it out once they have downloaded the app, hence obviating the need for multiple applications?
