I created my first universal app by using the universal app template.
I set up xib files and main view controllers for both iPhone and iPad and the iPhone version runs fine.
Yet even though I change the simulator hardware to iPad/3.2 when I test, the simulator changes back to the iPhone.
Please help.

I found that if I change the targeted device in the project settings from iPhone/iPad to iPad, I can test. I'll have to change it back when I'm ready to release the product. Who knows if it will work.
Side issue: I found that the new imageWithCGImage:scale:orientation is not supported in 3.2. I have to branch upon the interface idiom.

This might be a repeat question.But i have a problem. I have an iPad app functional. The app is built in iOS 6. When i started building it i chose iPad as targeted device NOT universal. Now my client has asked for an iPhone version of it.In my iPad app i keep adding custom views as the client clicks "Add More".I add a custom view which is bunch of textfields, buttons etc.So i copied my iPad app and changed the Targeted device family to iPhone once and also Universal next time and tested it. So when i launch the app in iPhone configuration (keeping the targeted device family as Universal) my view controller stays like that on iPad. I cannot scroll the app also(not up/down..nor sideways). Is this the correct way to convert iPad app to iPhone app . Also everything is still with scale to iPad. Should i start a new project and start everything from scratch.Set the storyboard to fit according to iPhone configuration? In my research people said just change the targeted device family to Universal. But it doesn't work. Please let me know if you need more information. Thanks.
It is possible to convert the current project you have to an app that can be used universally, but it would take more time than simply just creating a new project that allows universal usage, and adding in the files of which you used for your iPad project.
Hint: You can use more than one storyboard when the project was created universally. It will automatically set this up for you.
I would also advise that you separate your files into what works universally, and what is specific for the iPhone or the iPad.
Happy Coding!
After many search i found that it possible to have an application for both Iphone and ipad devices.but in your code you should define unique ui for each device(two xib file).
I'm about to release an app that I have been working on for quite some time and is has currently been built to target both iPhone and iPad. The app has both iPhone and iPad storyboards and various device specific code and views. I now wish to remove the iPad references and release the app targeted for iPhone only.
Can a project be changed in this way without too much difficulty and what are the potential complications that may arise?
You should be able to change the device target in Xcode to just iPhone, then verify the build runs in the iPhone simulator window on the iPad. You can also check the bundle plist to verify that UIDeviceTarget contains only 1, not 1 and 2.
If you want to remove the iPad resources, click on your storyboard (or other files), check the properties pane, and uncheck the target. This will stop the file from being copied into the app bundle.
In this image you can see Devices is selected for iPhone only. You can change it from here.
I am developing a universal ios app and the iphone version is nearly done and about 50% of the ipad. However I need to get started testing the iphone version. Therefore I changed the project only to be a iphone target. However when the app is on the ipad, the nib files for the ipad version is loaded in the iphone simulator. Therefore you only see a fraction of the ipad screen in the iphone simulator. One solution is to remove the references to the ipad nib files, however I would like to avoid this approach.
Anyone one with suggestions?
Regards
EDIT: The problem is if I want people to be able to test the iphone version on a ipad(some people only have an ipad not an iphone). When running the iphone simulator on the ipad, it would load the wrong nibfiles. Those intended for the actual ipad and not the iphone.
You don't want to "change the project only to be a iphone target". Change it back and just build and run on the device (iphone or ipad depending upon which one you have plugged in).
Btw, in future I STRONGLY recommend that you test early and test often - e.g. test on devices every day.
Okay, it ended up with the solution I did not want to do :) I removed the nib files intended for the ipad and it removed the issue. After the test I will have to add the ipad nib files to continue working.
Im using Xcode 4.1 lion release. My app was rejected because it only works on the iPhone, this is how it should be, but i guess i didnt set my app up so it only works on the iPhone. How would i do so?
I go to Targeted Device Family under my project build settings and i have iPhone selected.
`
What else do i need to do. Thanks
EDIT: During the app review it was still set up under device family as iPhone
Remove and iPad xib files that were created initially. By default Xcode makes an iPad folder when you select the universal build, remove that and you should be good. Other considerations might be to remove iPad launch images if they are present, or any iPad specific code like popover view controllers etc.
I already have an application which i have built for iphone only. I need to change it to work in both iphone and ipad.the upgrade to ipad application option in project tab of xcode is faded.. which I means I cant do that... I tried to run the project in ipad simulator but it gets automatically run in iphone simulator.
What are the proper steps to change my project to work in iphone and ipad.
Initially change the build setting,ie change the Targeted Device Family field to iPhone/iPad. To write logic for iPad use "UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad" this condition.
