I gave an app in the app store got ipad. I also made a app for the iPhone now.
What you guys suggest should I create a new app for the iPhone or is there way to add my iPhone binary to my current ipad app?
Thanks for your help.
There is no way to include the iPad and iPhone binary together. If you want to put them together, you'll need to create a universal application. You will have checks at run time that will determine whether or not your app is running on an iPad or iPhone, this will determine which set of ViewControllers your app will display.
There is a lot of information out there on creating universal apps.

I created an iPhone app and published to the iTunes. Now my client complainig when he search it from the iPad it doesn't display under iPad apps. He asked me to make it search under iPad also. Then how I can do this plz help me.
Thanks
You can find it if you tap the iPhone tab on your iPad. If you want it to show up under iPad apps, it has to be an iPad app (or a Universal app, meaning it is designed for both iPhone and iPad). If you are looking to optimize your app for iPad and make it a Universal app, here are some resources to get you started:
Apple's Advanced App Tricks Guide
Creating a Universal iOS App Tutorial
Creating a Universal iOS Application
If you go to Xcode and start a new project, and click "Universal", Apple will have most of the work done for you. You will also find that it is a lot more straightforward than it sounds; basically you use the same code with different nib files. If you need more advanced control, you can always detect which device you are running on to do stuff programatically.
We have an iPad game on the appstore and decided to make an iPhone version of it.
After adding a new target, modifying the necessary views and classes the game runs perfectly on both iPhone and iPad (devices and simulators).
My question is, do I have to upload the new iPhone version as a completely different app to itunesconnect or is there a way to use the same name/app id for both?
Will users who already purchased the iPad app have to pay again for the iPhone app?
Anyone who can shed some light on multiple targets and universal apps would be great.
Thanks in advance.
Yes , You would have to upload the new iPhone app separately and the users who purchased your iPad app would have to pay for the iPhone version again. This is only when you have not developed a universal app in the beginning for both iPhone and IPad. If it was for both then there would not have been an issue. Also the app you would now put up as the iphone one cannot be the same name as of the iPad one as the name has been reserved for the iPad one only.
Hi I have wrote an application which is suitable for iphone (haven't uploaded to appstore yet)
I want this app to be supported on iPad as well.
Do I need to open a new project and create a separate app for iPad or is there a way to create a single app for both ?
Thanks

no need to create a new project, if u like to release for iPad also you need to resize for the all the classes, whichever view suits for the iPad, and also check it in your ipad,then deploy target should be both for iPad and iphone
I want to submit application for iPad and iPhone both. first time when i submit application its submitted as iPhone only.
it created for both iPad and iPhone but in itunes its show only as iPhone application America's best showcaves
can anybody tell me how can i submit my application for iPad and iPhone both.
Thanks in advance .... :)
It is done automatically when your binary is generated as a universal app specified as "iPhone/iPad" in the targeted device family.
EDIT:
And you check your icon-72.png file is in its place and at least Default-Portrait~ipad.png file as well.
Beside uploading the images and details you need to set some information on target and project setting check out the images below and do the things .
by doing these steps your app will be universal app on app store
I am new to iPad,I am having iPhone distribution build, can i upload to apple for iPad Device?Will it run? will it be accepted by Apple?otherwise i have to create new Ipad application for existing iphone application?
Practically all iPhone apps will run unmodified on the iPad. They will simply be scaled up pixel-by-pixel (with a little "2x" button so the user can choose scaled/unscaled mode).
For the best user experience, you should create a universal binary that provides customised behaviour for each platform, but this isn't required.
Any iPhone application, an application that has not been optimized for the iPad, will run on the iPad in 'compatibility mode', which means it will get its own iPhone-sized frame in the center of the iPad screen. The user also has the option to zoom in the application 2 times, so it takes up almost the entire iPad screen.
So if you want your app to run at all on the iPad, you don't have to do anything exciting, just submit it to Apple as usual, and iPad users will be able to download and use it.
If you want to optimize your application for the iPad, which is almost always preferred over 'compatibility mode', you can either make your current application into a Universal one, which is an app which contains both iPhone and iPad versions, in one binary, or you can create two different applications, one for the iPhone and one for the iPad. You can find more information on this on the Apple Developer website.
